Samsung has recently rolled out the June 2023 security update for its popular foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. This update brings the latest firmware versions, F711BXXU5EWF1 and F721BXXU3CWE6, to the devices in the UK. While the update primarily focuses on enhancing security, it doesn’t introduce any new features or performance enhancements.
What’s new in this June 2023 security update?
The June 2023 security patch addresses a total of 64 security flaws across various Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Out of these, 53 fixes are sourced from Google, targeting vulnerabilities found in Android devices. Among them, three are classified as critical, while the remaining 50 are marked as highly important. Additionally, Samsung has included 11 fixes to address security vulnerabilities specific to its own devices.
Samsung has provided details about three of the 11 vulnerabilities, referred to as SVEs or Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures. However, the remaining vulnerabilities will be disclosed once all Galaxy devices have received the June 2023 security patch or subsequent updates. These particular flaws affect Galaxy devices running Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13. One vulnerability impacts devices utilizing Exynos chips, while the others pertain to flaws in Knox and its CC (Common Criteria) mode.
To check for the new update on your Galaxy Z Flip 3 or Z Flip 4 in the UK, simply navigate to the Settings menu and select the Software Update section. From there, tap on “Download and Install” to initiate the update process.
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 was released in 2021 and initially shipped with Android 11. It subsequently received updates to Android 12 in late 2021 and Android 13 in late 2022. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 debuted in 2022 with Android 12 and was later updated to Android 13 in late 2022. Users of these devices can now benefit from the enhanced security provided by the latest June 2023 security patch from Samsung.
