The April 2026 security patch started rolling out to the Galaxy S26 series on the very first day of April, and it has gradually expanded to over a dozen Galaxy devices since.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of Galaxy devices that have started receiving the April 2026 security update:<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy S series<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 UltraGalaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge, S25 FEGalaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S24 FEGalaxy S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, S23 FE<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy Z series<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy Z TriFoldGalaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Flip 7 FEGalaxy Z Fold Special EditionGalaxy Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy A series<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy A57, A56, A55, A54, A53Galaxy A37, A36, A35, A34Galaxy A26, A25Galaxy A16, A15Galaxy A07, A07 4G<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy M series<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy Tab series<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy Tab S10+, Tab S10 UltraGalaxy Tab A11+<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy XCover series<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy XCover 7, XCover 7 ProGalaxy XCover 6 Pro<\/p>\n<p>Samsung releases software updates in batches, so even if your device is on the list, it may take a few days before the update shows up. You can manually check for updates by navigating to Settings &gt; Software updates &gt; Download and install.<\/p>\n<p>The April 2026 security patch, like any other, fixes vulnerabilities found in the previous software version. It doesn\u2019t include new features or visual upgrades, but it strengthens security to keep the device safe from critical security flaws.<\/p>\n<p>The April security patch, in particular, addresses 47 vulnerabilities in total. Of these, 33 come from Google as part of the Android Security Bulletin for April 2026, 10 from Samsung Mobile, and the remaining 4 from Samsung Semiconductor. Some of those Samsung-specific patches are related to Device Care and DeX.<\/p>\n<p>There are still many more Galaxy devices in line to receive the latest security update. The rollout should gradually cover them over the coming days and weeks. We\u2019ll update the list periodically to ensure it remains fresh. You can revisit the page later for the latest information.<\/p>\n<p>While the security update rollout is back on track after being delayed in February and March, Samsung is still struggling with One UI 8.5. The company hasn\u2019t begun rolling out the update despite a really long beta program. Hopefully, the wait will be over soon.
