While we are waiting for the One UI 6.1 update, Samsung has started rolling out the March 2024 security update to its phones. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 have started getting the new security update in the USA.
March 2024 security update rolling out to Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Flip 5 in the USA
The newest update for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is now available in the US for carrier-locked units. It comes with firmware version F721USQS4EXBD and is available on AT&T and DISH networks in the country. The update for the carrier-locked model of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with firmware version F731USQS2BXBE, and it is available on Metro PCS and T-Mobile networks.
These phones are getting the March 2024 security patch with their new updates, which means they now have access to dozens of new security patches for vulnerabilities in the previous software version. Since these are just security updates, don't expect to find any new features or performance improvements with the new update.
