Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6 getting December 2024 security update

Samsung has started rolling out the next update to its mobile devices. Before that, the company shared the list of vulnerabilities fixed in its next security patch. Now, the December 2024 security update is available, first for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Interestingly, the company has started rolling out the update to its latest-gen foldables. The South Korean giant usually does it first on its Galaxy S flagships. Anyway, the update in question is totally focused on fixing bugs and vulnerabilities. There are no new features or options, which is expected given that the company is currently working on One UI 7. In fact, the public beta program for the new version of One UI started today for the Galaxy S24 series.

As expected, the December 2024 security update is based on Android 14 and One UI 6.1.1.

On the other hand, the Android vulnerabilities fixed by Google were labeled as “Critical” and “High” severity. There are no fixes for “Moderate” severity vulnerabilities. Regarding One UI, Samsung patched vulnerabilities related to features like SmartSwitch and Dex.

The December 2024 security update for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 has build numbers F956NKSS2AXKC and F741NKSS2AXKC, respectively. The changelog shows that the OTA is about 380MB in size.
