Samsung has now rolled out the global launch of the February 2024 security update, covering many more devices in its renewed attempt at user protection. The latest proactive move aims to enhance further the device's defense level in the face of emerging security threats and related vulnerabilities.

Below is a very detailed changelog of the most recent changes, and below is a comprehensive list of devices that will be picking up the February update.

What's New in the February Security Update

Most of Samsung's improvements in the February 2024 Security Update are focused on fine-tuning its software instead of the significant overall of One UI 6-this is aimed at shoring up defense mechanisms against ever-evolving security threats without making substantial changes to the user interface.

This strategy protects the users better from such scenarios as described. Therefore, updating one's Galaxy device to the latest security patch makes its security features top-notch, giving one the best protection against malware attacks and vulnerability exploits.

Devices Receiving the February 2024 Security Update

Samsung continues its deployment strategy for security updates, with recent flagship models taking precedence in the rollout. Following suit are popular mid-range devices, showcasing Samsung's inclusive approach to ensuring the security of a diverse range of users.

Notably, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 spearheaded the One UI 6 security update rollout this month, signifying its significance in Samsung's commitment to timely updates to its foldable models.

Galaxy S Series

In a rather unexpected move, Samsung has again bypassed the February security patch for the flagship Galaxy S24 series. In a show of commitment towards inclusivity, the Galaxy S20 series has instead been queued ahead, adding one more device to the list that gets monthly regular security updates.

The flagship models, including the Galaxy S20/S20+, S20 Ultra, S20 FE, S21/S21+, S21 Ultra, S21 FE, S23/S23+, S23 Ultra, and S23 FE, are all included in the update. This aligns with Samsung's strategy of integrating the new top devices step by step into the monthly security update cycle.

Galaxy Z Fold/Flip Series

The fact that Samsung has maintained its foldable models updated points to the company's commitment to the line. This month, the One UI 6 security update became available, with the foldable series' leading models like the Galaxy Z Flip 3 on the list. This confirms that Samsung is on the path to seeing that even older foldable models like the Z Fold 3, Z Flip 5, and Z Fold 5 are bringing the latest security enhancements.

The company's move to include these foldable devices in its monthly update cycle supports its dedication to keeping users safe on devices of various segments.

Galaxy Note Series

Though the Galaxy Note series is officially dead, it will continue to serve an extended software upgrade cycle for its current devices that were once part of this iconic series. The Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra are also part of this patch, underlying Samsung's support of the whole series.

Galaxy A/M/F Series

Frequent security updates in the mid-range and budget lineup of the Samsung, A, M, or F show that Samsung is keen on taking care of the end-user across all device segments.

The Galaxy A53, the representative of the A series, is among those devices benefiting from the February 2024 security update, thereby keeping midrange users in the loop with the latest security protocols.

As the world gets deeper into February 2024, let the users take advantage of these security updates on time to ensure they are adequately protected against today's threat landscapes.

Samsung's dedication to creating a safe environment for all its users is demonstrated by the extensive implementation of this feature across flagship, foldable, and mid-range devices. Keep yourself protected and up to date with Samsung.
