January 2024 security update reaches Galaxy Z Flip 4 in India

Earlier this week, Samsung started rolling out the January 2023 security update to its phones, and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 was the first to get it. The new security update started rolling out to the fourth-generation flip phone from Samsung in Europe. Now, the update is expanding its reach to the Indian market.

Galaxy Z Flip 4 gets several security fixes with January 2024 security update

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is now getting the January 2024 security update in India, bearing firmware version F721BXXS4EWL5. The update has a download size of 386.87MB, which means you may probably download it even using a cellular connection. Regardless, the update only includes security fixes found in the previous software version. Samsung is yet to reveal exactly which security flaws have been fixed in its latest update, and we expect that information to go live within this week.

If you have a Galaxy Z Flip 4 in India, you can now check for the new update on your phone. To do that, navigate to Settings » Software update and tap Download and install. There is also an option to download the new firmware file and flash it manually. However, to do that, you need to be well-versed with the manual firmware flashing process using Odin. You would also need to have access to a computer running Windows operating system.

This is the first software update that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is getting after it received the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update a few days ago. Samsung launched this foldable phone in the second half of 2022 with Android 12 onboard. It promised to release four major Android OS updates to the device, and it has already released two such updates. Within the next few weeks, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will likely get the Android 14-based One UI 6.1 update with new features.
