India wants Samsung to rollout 5G network support firmware update as soon as possible
Many smartphones, including Samsung, are not able to provide a 5G network due to a lack of compatible software in India. To solve this issue, the government is likely to force Samsung, Apple, and other brands to roll out 5G network support firmware updates in India as soon as possible.
On October 1, the Indian government launched a 5G network service with leading telecom operators in the country like Jio and Airtel. However, the smartphone OEMs are yet to release the 5G software updates which is restricting customers to use the fastest network.

In this meeting, the Telecom and IT departments leaders are said to ask these companies to release software updates to their smartphones in order to unlock the 5G capabilities so that the customers can take advantage of the service.
The information further reveals that the executives from major telecom operators including Jio, Airtel, and Vi (Vodafone Idea) will also be available in the meeting that is planned for today.
Moving ahead, as per Airtel’s website, Samsung has expanded the 5G compatible software updates to just nine smartphones so far. While the 5G phones are yet to receive an update that will enable 5G networks for them. The 5G software-compatible Samsung smartphones include:
- Galaxy Z Fold 4
- Galaxy Z Flip 4
- Galaxy S22
- Galaxy S22+
- Galaxy S22 Ultra
- Galaxy S21 FE
- Galaxy A53
- Galaxy A33
- Galaxy M33
Meanwhile, the problem is even worst for iPhones as none of the Apple smartphones supports the 5G network in India. The company is suggested to resolve this problem with the iOS 16.1 update.
Samsung is reportedly working on the development of the Galaxy S24 FE. Earlier this year, the company released the Galaxy S24 flagships, which are selling well globally. Now, the company has started work on its next budget flagship, with a release expected later this year.
GalaxyClub reports that Samsung is developing the Galaxy S24 FE with the R12 codename. The codename aligns with Samsung’s previous releases as the S20 FE was codenamed R8, the S21 FE was R9, the S23 FE was R11, and the R11 (S22 FE) was in development but hasn’t been released.
It was reported that Samsung might launch the S24 FE in the summer. As the development starts late, the release may be pushed to later this year, as testing and production aren’t finalized yet. The latest report also has no other details than the device’s codename.
Galaxy S23 FE has the hardware specs of the S22 series, however, the S24 FE might bring the latest. If it happens, we might see a price hike in the next budget flagship. New Galaxy AI features are also expected to debut with the S24 FE, before the S25 series launch next year.
Samsung is also working on an affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6, which would be the first Fan Edition foldable. Judging from the 2023 release strategy, it’s expected that the Galaxy S24 FE might launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold FE, new FE tablets.

The US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. There were reports that Samsung may expand the Exynos chipset to its foldable lineup, which doesn’t seem to be happening, at least in the United States.
Recently, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US variant was spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon chip. It isn’t surprising as the company is following its conventional chipset strategy. We expect that it will be the same chipset used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.
The Flip 6 smartphone scored 15084 points on Geekbench’s GPU test. Due to its foldable form factor, the device may miss a Galaxy S24-like larger cooling technology. Still, its impressive 15000+ points in the GPU test indicates that Samsung has greatly optimized the software.
The company still has three months remaining in the launch event. More performance improvements will likely be achieved before the Unpacked. The South Korean tech giant will likely unveil the next-gen foldable phones in mid-July.
This year, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would join the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition, an affordable variant of Fan Edition branding is also in development. However, the cheaper foldable would miss some pro-grade specs to maintain the price.
