Just three days ago, we complained about how owners of older foldable phones from Samsung have been left wanting for the Android 14 update. And it looks like Samsung listened to us, as the company has started rolling out the stable Android 14 update to the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the US.
Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Fold 3 get Android 14 in the US for carrier-locked versions
The stable Android 14 update for the Galaxy Z Flip 3's carrier-locked version is now available in the US. It comes bearing firmware version F711USQU5HWL1. The Android 14 update for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 comes with firmware version F926USQU4HWL1 and is available for the carrier-locked version of the phone.
If you have a carrier-locked version of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 or Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the US, you can now check for the new update on your phone. To do that, navigate to Settings » Software update and tap Download and install. You can also download the new firmware file from our database and flash it manually. You would need a computer running Windows operating system and use the Odin tool.
