Samsung started rolling out this month’s security patch to Galaxy smartphones later than usual. On top of that, the brand has been rolling out the update rather slowly, with many new and high-end devices, including the Galaxy S26 series, still awaiting it. That’s finally changing.
Samsung has released a new software update for the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. It brings the August 2026 security patch, which fixes 56 security issues. The company appears to have released the update first in its home country, South Korea.
Samsung should release it in other regions over the next few days. You can check for the update and download it by going to Settings > Software update > Check for updates.
The latest update is for Galaxy S26 units running the stable version of One UI 8.5. As for Galaxy S26 units running the One UI 9.0 beta, they have already received the August 2026 security patch with the sixth beta release.
First Samsung device: Galaxy S II
I’m a computer science engineer living in Hyderabad, India, who has a keen interest in automobiles and consumer electronics. My journalism career kicked off in 2017 with MySmartPrice where I wrote news, features, buying guides, and explanatory articles about technology among other things, and reviewed many products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC components, smartwatches, audio devices, wearables, and smart home products. Since then, I have worked for 91Mobiles, Apple, and Onsitego, before finally landing on SamMobile.
