The update for the Galaxy S24 devices has two versions. Users in the US will firmware version S928USQU3AXH7, while those in China will get S9280ZHU3AXH7.
Despite having two separate versions, both variants reportedly have the same download size. Galaxy S24 users are urged to get the update over Wi-Fi because it is 2.8 GB in size.
How to get the latest One UI update and what does it offer?
Some reports suggest the One UI 6.1.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series includes the September 2024 security patch. However, a few others claim the September 2024 security patch is missing in the update as Samsung has embedded the August 2024 security patch.
Samsung smartphones usually alert the user about an update. However, users can manually seek out and download the update by heading over to the Settings app, navigating to Software Update, and tapping Download and Install.
