Last week, Samsung announced the Galaxy S24 FE, which went on pre-order in most markets the same week. Those who pre-ordered the phone might have just received their phones. Galaxy S24 FE users have started seeing the first software update on their devices just after setting up their phones.

Galaxy S24 FE's first software update brings September 2024 security patch

Samsung has released the first software update for the Galaxy S24 FE. It comes bearing firmware version S721BXXS2AXI5, which is a minor software update that is rolling out in Africa, Europe, and India. It brings the October 2024 security patch that fixes several security vulnerabilities discovered in the original software version.

You can see the official changelog in the screenshot below.

The Galaxy S24 FE was launched earlier this week with Android 14-based One UI 6.1 software onboard. It is the first Fan Edition device from Samsung to come with a promise of seven major Android OS updates, which means it will be up to date when the Android 21 update is released sometime in the year 2030.

What is new with the Galaxy S24 FE?

Samsung introduced several improvements with the Galaxy S24 FE compared to the Galaxy S23 FE. It uses tougher glass on the front and the back, a brighter (1,900 nits vs 1,450 nits on Galaxy S23 FE) and bigger Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen, a much faster Exynos 2400e processor, and a bigger (4,700mAh) battery.

While its camera hardware has remained the same as the Galaxy S23 FE, the phone can now record 8K 30fps videos and has better image and video processing.
