Starting this week, the South Korean leading tech company, Samsung, started rolling out monthly security updates to its flagship Galaxy S24 series and its predecessor models.
This security update mainly includes a security patch and some bug fixes that aim to tackle a whopping 38 vulnerabilities in the core Android OS, labeled as high risk, and 13 vulnerabilities specific to Samsung’s One UI.
According to SamMobile, the Galaxy S24 models in the US—the S24, S24 Plus, and the premium Galaxy S24 Ultra—are the first flagships to get security updates. These models are carrier-locked variants, and the firmware includes the S92xUSQS4AXJA version.
Similarly, its predecessors, the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra, are also getting security updates. These models also debuted in the USA for carrier-locked variants, and the update has the S911xSQS5CXI8 firmware version.
However, it is expected to go live for unlocked variants and in other markets before the week is over.
If you are an owner of the above-listed phones in the US, navigate to your device’s Settings > Software update > and press Download and Install to install the security updates.
This rollout began on November 4 and is slowly expanding to Samsung’s flagship devices. It is expected that throughout the month, the update will gradually make its way to other Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
This update has come amidst the anticipated launch of the Android 15 and the One UI 7 beta program planned to be rolled out on November 21, which is expected to bring major changes to the Galaxy devices.
So, if you are looking for a chance to try out the new operating system ahead of the official release, keep your eyes out for the Unpacked event, which is expected in January.
