Samsung has begin seeding the August 2024 security patch to a load of its smartphones, including the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy M55 5G, Galaxy F55 5G, and more.

At the moment, Samsung has made the latest security update available to the European and Indian variants of the Galaxy S24 models, bearing model numbers SM-S921B, SM-S926B, and SM-S928B. The new firmware has version S92XBXXS3AXGF and should make its way to more models across various regions soon. The update sadly doesn’t contain any camera improvements users have been expecting.
