Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Flip 3 are only going to get quarterly security updates now.

Overview

  • After briefly disappearing from Samsung’s support page, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 are now listed for quarterly security updates.
  • The two 2021 foldables already received their final major upgrade earlier this year with Android 15 and One UI 7.
  • Samsung’s “Work Scope” page indicates roughly four quarterly patches remain before support ends around August 2026.
  • Owners should not expect new features going forward, as maintenance now focuses on security fixes.
  • For those upgrading, the 2025 Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 promise seven OS upgrades, and U.S. trade-in discounts have been reported for older Fold 3 and Flip 3 units.
