- Samsung has started pushing out its August security update to Galaxy S24 Ultra users.
- The new update includes general bug fixes but doesn’t have the One UI 6.1.1 update or the camera improvements it promised.
- According to leakers, the update is ready but has been delayed for some unspecified reason.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series arrived earlier this year to critical acclaim. Of course, the launch wasn’t perfect, and there were more than a few software issues initially, particularly concerning camera performance. Although a substantial update in April brought some camera fixes, Galaxy S24 Ultra users were promised an even bigger camera update with the arrival of One UI 6.1.1 in August. The good news is that Samsung is now pushing out an update to Ultra users; the bad news is that this is only a security update.
For now, the only confirmed report of this update comes from Reddit and is from AT&T users, though it’s very likely this update will roll out to more devices in the coming weeks. The new update promises to improve device stability, fix bugs, and a few other improvements. Some of these fixes address general Android-specific vulnerabilities, but it also patches at least fourteen security issues related to Samsung devices, three of which are listed as High Severity, with the rest marked as Moderate.
