The latest Galaxy Z Fold smartphone from Samsung and its predecessor are currently receiving the October 2024 security update in specific countries. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is already receiving the update in Europe, while the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is being updated in both Europe and the USA.

The October 2024 update has commenced its rollout for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 today, indicating its imminent availability for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 shortly.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, as the latest models on the market, will undoubtedly receive software updates before older devices. The current situation may not reflect this, but it's important to note that it's not Samsung's fault.
