Overview
- September’s release merges Google’s Android fixes with Samsung patches, addressing two critical and 58 high‑risk Android flaws plus 25 One UI issues and an additional semiconductor vulnerability.
- Samsung now guarantees up to seven years of system and security updates for its top Galaxy models.
- Devices are grouped into three cadences: about 34 models on monthly patches, more than 100 on quarterly updates, and five on semiannual cycles.
- Extended coverage now includes lower‑cost devices such as the Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, while S‑series flagships and recent foldables like the Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 remain on monthly updates.
