Currently, the November 2026 security update is being rolled out in South Korea. Samsung may release the same update in other countries in the coming days or weeks. As usual, the rollout may happen in phases, so it could take some time to reach all users.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 users can manually check for the update by going to Settings, opening Software Update, and tapping on Download and Install. If the update is available for their device, they can download and install it. Users are advised to connect their smartphones to a Wi-Fi network before downloading the update.

Samsung has a new update for Galaxy S26 owners this November, and it has just begun to roll out globally. First dropped in South Korea, the fresh software has been released in Europe and India, hitting the flagship lineup sequentially.

Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra users in Europe and India can now download the latest update, which brings November 2026 security patches. This rollout follows the recent distribution of the second October 2026 software update.

Samsung upgraded its latest flagships to Android 17 in September. October patch came thereafter, followed by a re-engineered release with performance improvements. Now, the November patch is being installed with the BZK1 build.

November patch has nothing other than security improvements. However, it offers under-the-hood changes while signaling a major switch. Per TarunVats, the update bumps the bootloader version from 5 to 6 across the S26 lineup.

One UI 9.5 Beta is coming

One UI 9.5 has been in development for several weeks now. Recently, Samsung began internal testing of the Android 17-based One UI 9.5 Beta. The testing process is running fast, indicating an imminent launch of Beta Program.

Last year, Samsung launched One UI x.5 Beta in December. We are already in mid-November, and this year’s Beta Program could go live early. Mid- to late-November is the widely assumed timeline for the Open Beta Testing activity.
