Galaxy XR may soon start getting security updates

Every month, or once every few months, Google issues Security Bulletins for its operating systems and devices, including Android, WearOS, Android Automotive, and Pixel and Nexus phones, tablets, and smartwatches that fix security vulnerabilities. Based on that, Samsung releases security updates for Galaxy phones, tablets, and watches.

Well, Google has now created a section for Android XR on its Security Bulletins page. While it doesn’t have any security bulletins for January 2026, it suggests that the brand will soon start addressing security issues in its operating system for XR headsets. Based on that, Samsung may start offering security updates to the Galaxy XR.

On the Android XR Security Bulletin page, Google says, “Device updates are an important tool to keep Android users safe and protect their devices. This page contains the available Android XR Security Bulletins, which supplement the Android Security Bulletins with additional security patches, providing fixes for possible issues affecting Android XR devices.”

For Galaxy XR, the latest news means that if there are any security vulnerabilities present in the Android XR OS, Google will issue a fix for it, and based on that, Samsung will release a security update for the headset. Speaking of Galaxy XR, if you are a proud owner of one, you will be happy to know that it is more repairable than any other XR headset on the market.
