This time, it bumps up the build version to G920FXXU2BOG8.

We knew that Samsung has never released any detailed information to what new changes it carries. Usually, the only thing it says is that it brings some sort of device stability improvements, bug fixes, new enhanced features and further improvements to performance.  How's battery life performance? Well, just hope it also brings some power improvements as it was never stated in the initial changelog det...
