A few days ago, Samsung released the June 2023 security update to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the US. The update was available for both locked and unlocked units in the country. Now, Samsung has released the update to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 outside of the US, starting with Europe.
The latest software update for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 comes with firmware version F926BXXU4EWF1. The update is currently available in the UK, and we expect it to expand to other European countries over the next few days. The update brings the June 2023 security patch that fixes over 60 security flaws found in Galaxy phones and tablets. It doesn't bring any new features or performance improvements.
Galaxy Z Fold 3 June 2023 security update: How to install?
If you have a Galaxy Z Fold 3 and if you live in the UK, you can check for the new update by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping Download and install. You can also download the newest firmware file from our firmware database and flash it manually. You would need a Windows PC and the Odin tool for the manual firmware flashing process.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 was launched in the second half of 2021 with Android 11 onboard. Samsung released the Android 12 update to the phone in early 2022 and the Android 13 update in late 2022. The phone will get two more Android OS updates—Android 14 and Android 15—in the future. Other countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America could get the June 2023 security update in a matter of days.
