Just a few days back, Samsung kicked off the release of the June security update for the Galaxy S24 and S23. Now, more of the company’s flagship phones, including its foldable phones, are beginning to receive the update.

The June 2024 security update is now rolling out to the Galaxy S22 series, the three latest Galaxy Z Fold models, and flip models dating back to the Galaxy Z Flip 3. This update addresses numerous security vulnerabilities.

Four years after their debut, Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, the final entries in the Note series, continue to receive regular security updates. This week, Samsung is also delivering the June 2024 security update to both models.

In addition to Samsung's flagship models, the update is now being rolled out to its Fan Edition smartphones, including models as far back as the Galaxy S20 FE. Specifically, the company is pushing the latest security update to the carrier-locked variant of the smartphone in the US.
