Addressing Secure Folder vulnerabilities
Samsung doesn't seem to be bringing any new meaningful changes to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 user experience with the latest firmware update, but the package does bring the October 2020 security patch which is fairly important.
The October patch fixes 21 vulnerabilities found in Samsung's software, and one of the bugs can theoretically be exploited to give malicious parties access to the user's Secure Folder contents. Of course, exploiting this vulnerability is not as easy as it sounds but it is good to know that Samsung has addressed it, so even if the latest firmware update doesn't include major additions, it's still a welcomed release and Galaxy Z Fold 2 owners should be getting it as soon as they are able to.
As usual, you can download the firmware by opening Settings, accessing Software updates and tapping Download and install on your phone. You can also refer to our firmware archive, search for the Galaxy Z Fold 2, download the latest update from there and install it on your phone using a Windows PC.
