The latest firmware update for the Galaxy Z Flip in the United States is F700USQU4GVE9 for carrier-locked models and F700U1UEU4GVE9 for unlocked models.The OTA (over the air) deployment is already accessible to consumers on most carrier networks. The remaining few should also be on board soon.
According to the official changelog, the foldable is getting Bluetooth-related stability and reliability enhancements as well as certain bug fixes with this version. This is in addition to the security updates included in Samsung’s Android-based Galaxy smartphones and tablets’ May SMR (Security Maintenance Release).
Samsung has previously stated that the May SMR contains solutions for about 50 vulnerabilities. These include Android OS issues as well as additional security weaknesses that specifically impact the Korean firm’s Android smartphones.
More About The New Security Update For The Galaxy Z Flip
The corporation names them SVEs (Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures) (Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures). Several of these vulnerabilities are deemed to be of critical severity.
Of course, the US units of the Galaxy Z Flip are a little late to the May SMR party. Their overseas siblings took up the update about a month ago. Samsung has even started pushing out the June security patch to its smartphones. Almost a dozen Galaxy smartphone and tablet models have already gotten this month’s security patch.
The June SMR provides updates for more than 70 vulnerabilities. As usual, these contain vulnerabilities identified in Google’s version of Android as well as SVEs. You can anticipate additional eligible Galaxy devices receiving the updated security patch in the coming days and weeks, including the Galaxy Z Flip. When the deployment begins, we will notify you.
Meanwhile, if you live in the United States and own a Galaxy Z Flip, the May SMR should be ready any day now. You will receive a notification once the OTA package becomes available for your unit.
You can also head over to the Settings app on your phone and browse to Software Update > Download and Install to manually check for updates. If an OTA update is available, you will be prompted to download it. If it doesn’t display any pending updates, try back again after a few days. Stay tuned for the June security update.
