An interesting thing to note here is that the latest Galaxy S9 update, which only contains security fixes, is only sixty MB in size. We're guessing this is Project Treble working its magic, as security updates for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8 used to be (and still are) at to the lowest degree 400 MB in size.
