In addition to the Android patches, Samsung has included 19 Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) items in the June 2025 update. These enhancements aim to boost the overall security and stability of Galaxy devices.

Samsung’s surprise Galaxy Watch 4 update feels like distraction from One UI 8 Watch

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic are getting a firmware refresh in the US amid One UI 8 Watch update uncertainty. Verizon has just pushed a new security patch dated March 2025 to Samsung’s OG Wear OS smartwatches.
Recently, Samsung announced the One UI 8 Watch Beta Program. The company has also revealed eligible watch models that exclude the Watch 4 series. It’s the first official hint that the OG wearables may not get the One UI 8 Watch update.
The Galaxy Watch 4 series at Verizon is getting the March 2025 security patch. We are about to enter July, and the carrier providing an old patch seems a bit weird. However, it might be the last OTA, hitting the end of support next month.
You can update the Watch through the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone. Open the app and enter the Watch settings section. You will find the Watch software update at the bottom, from where you can get the new OTA.
Software Version:
- Galaxy Watch 4
- R865USQU1IYCD (40mm)
- R875USQU1IYCD (44mm)
- Galaxy Watch 4 Classic
- R885USQU1IYCD (42mm)
- R895USQU1IYCD (46mm)

Source – Samsung
Galaxy Watch 4 was launched alongside the Galaxy S21 series in 2021. Samsung usually offers four years of software updates support on wearables. That makes the Watch 4 series, probably, ineligible for another big OS upgrade.
We’ve already predicted Samsung’s potential move to exclude the Watch 4 series from One UI 8 Watch. As the official version debuts in July, the rollout may kick off in August or September, which is passing the July support end deadline of Watch 4.
Wear OS 6-based One UI 8 Watch will be available in South Korea and the US this month. The Watch 5 and later models are eligible for the Beta, and Samsung might surprise Watch 4 users with a direct switch to One UI 8 Watch software.

Through new updates, Samsung is making its Galaxy Watch FE ready for the next major update. Recently, the Korean tech giant announced the release of One UI 8 Watch Beta soon in Korea and the US. And the Galaxy Watch FE is on the eligible list.
Notably, Samsung’s May 2025 patch brings 58 high-level issues from Google’s Android security bulletin. No critical or moderate issues were found this month. In addition, Samsung added 20 of its own security fixes related to One UI, with 13 of them explained in detail. These updates further improve the safety and performance of Galaxy devices.
If you have a Galaxy Watch FE Classic in the US, you can check for the update by going to the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone. From there, go to Watch Settings >> Watch software update >> Download and install.
It’s important to keep your watch charged and connected to Wi-Fi during the update to make sure everything goes smoothly. This update makes your watch more stable, secure, and reliable.
