The latest Galaxy device to get the new security update is the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

The carrier-locked version of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 (SM-F916U) is getting the October 2021 security update in the US. The update, which comes with firmware version F916USQS2EUI3, is rolling out to devices on T-Mobile's network in the US. Apart from fixing over 60 vulnerabilities related to user privacy and data security, the update might also include device stability improvements and general bug fixes.
