Last week, Samsung released the February 2024 security update, starting with the Galaxy Z Fold 3. A few days later, the update was released to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the US, but only for the carrier-locked variant. Now, the company has released the new security update to the factory-unlocked variants of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in the US.

The update for the unlocked version of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is also available in the US, and it comes with firmware version F936U1UES4EXAD. This update is now rolling out on Metro PCS and T-Mobile networks. Other carriers could release the update within the next few days. Since this is just a security update for both phones, its download size is relatively smaller. The new security patch fixes 72 security vulnerabilities found in the previous software version.
