One UI 4.1
It’s expected that April 2022 security patch includes fixes for the vulnerabilities and exploits that reduced the overall system performance with the major One UI 4.1 upgrade. However, Samsung last week revealed the details of its latest security patch for the Galaxy devices, which is available HERE.
The One UI 4.1 software is based on Google’s Android 12 operating system, bringing further improvements to the system alongside a slew of new features inspired by the Galaxy S22 series. Recently, it was said that the company will begin the Android 13-based One UI 5 Beta program by July this year.

Accordingly, we can expect that the Galaxy Note 20 series might also be eligible for the One UI 5 Beta program, sometime in October/November this year. Google is rapidly working on the Android 13 OS and it’s likely to be released for eligible Pixels by October 2022.
This month, Samsung has kicked off the rollout of the September 2024 security update, beginning with its latest flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The company is regularly working to extend this update to more devices soon.
In addition to the security patch, Samsung has also started the One UI 6.1.1 update rollout for several older flagship models. This includes the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5. Users of these devices can enjoy advanced Galaxy AI features and other enhancements.
For some of these devices, the major update comes bundled with the September 2024 security patch. This means users will benefit not only from the new features but also from enhanced security.
September 2024 security patch addresses over 65 issues, including 1 critical and 43 high-level security vulnerabilities. Additionally, Samsung is introducing 23 of its own security improvements related to My Files, Theme Center, One UI Home, Knox, and Dex.
