Samsung is rolling out the first ever update for its latest foldable smartphones. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 users in the brand’s home market of South Korea are getting the new update first. Although, a global release is expected to follow in the coming days.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 & Galaxy Z Flip 6 get August 2024 security patch
The latest update for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 was rolled out in South Korea with the firmware version F741NKSU1AXH7. On the other hand, the more expensive Galaxy Z Fold 6 is receiving the F956NKSU1AXH7 build. While these are the first software upgrades for the foldable phones, these are incremental updates with the only notable aspect being the August 2024 security patch.
For those unaware, the August 2024 security patch for Android fixes almost 50 security loopholes, which were discovered in the previous software version. The Galaxy Z Fold 6’s update is 408MB large (Via SamMobile), while the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has received a 398MB update.
To recall, Samsung released the two foldable phones last month with the Android 14 OS based One UI 6.1.1 custom skin out of the box. So both the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 had the newest software version and introduced the new Galaxy AI features with some minor improvements.
The update is expected to roll out to previous gen foldable phones from the brand next month. Once again, this update is only available to South Korean users at the moment. So if your device is eligible, you can check for the update by following these steps:
- Open ‘Settings’
- Head to the ‘Software update’
- Check if there’s an update
- If your device has received the update, you can go ahead and click ‘Download and install’
It is worth noting that you should update your smartphones with more than 30 percent battery.
