Yesterday, Samsung released the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 in the US. The big Android update for the 2022 and 2021 Galaxy foldables is now available in more markets. We have confirmation that One UI 6.0 for these devices is rolling out at least in Asia. Additionally, the Galaxy F54 has picked up the update.
Samsung updates its older foldables to Android 14
Samsung took longer than expected to release Android 14 for its older foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 picked it up almost a month back but the 2022 and 2021 lineups had to wait until this week. The US versions of the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 received it yesterday. The update is available for both carrier-locked and unlocked units stateside.
Now, One UI 6.0 is rolling out to the four foldables in Asian markets, including India and South Korea. In India, the update for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 bears the firmware build number F936BXXU4EWL1. It is F936NKSU2EWL1 in Samsung’s homeland. Those for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are F721BXXU4EWL1 and F721NKSU2EWL1, respectively. The phones are receiving the December security patch in both regions.
As of this writing, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 appear to be receiving this update in Korea only. The new build numbers for the two devices are F926NKSU3HWL1 and F711NKSU3HWL1, respectively. The December SMR (Security Maintenance Release) is part of the package for these foldables too. It shouldn’t be long before Samsung updates the phones to Android 14 and One UI 6.0 globally.
This update brings UI changes, smoother system animations, new features, and functional improvements to your Samsung foldable. Additionally, it introduces the December security release that patches more than 60 vulnerabilities, including at least seven critical ones. Like before, you can check for updates from the Settings app. You may also get a notification when the update is available for your phone.
Galaxy F54 is also receiving this update
Along with its older foldables, Samsung has released Android 14 for the Galaxy F54. The F-series phone is only sold in India and a few neighboring countries such as Nepal. The update comes with firmware version E546BXXU3BWL1 and bundles the November security patch. The Korean firm will soon release One UI 6.0 for the remaining eligible budget and mid-range phones. It has pushed the update to all flagship models.
