Does the international version (not US) of the Samsung Note 9 not receive updates from Samsung?

Question

Im planning on buying the Samsung Note 9 since the 10 is coming out soon and the price seems to be dropping. While I was shopping around I saw the international version, that had Dual Sims, and when I asked around about it, I found out that the international version doesn t support Samsung Pay, Have the Samsung American Warranty, and doesn t seem to get updates from Samsung.

Samsung Pay and American Warranty aside, Im worried about the lack up updates. Does that mean my phones firmware will stay the same throughout its life? Is there no way to get updates so my phone could be more secure and have any bugs fixed?

I have the Note 8 also International (dual-sim) version and get updates whenever they're made available. I got the Android Pie update some months ago.

My Note 8 is from the UAE and it works fine on Samsung Pay in the US with my Wells Fargo cards. However, I do only get Samsung Pay ads for UAE related things. And as far as the warranty goes, it won't be valid if you're in the US.
