Samsung has pushed the November 2026 security update to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 — starting in South Korea, with US and Indian rollout expected within days. The patch fixes 179 vulnerabilities: 155 tied to Google’s Android platform, 24 to Samsung’s own stack, including flaws in Exynos chipsets, modems, bootloaders, SIM lock logic, and core apps.

It carries firmware version F966NKSSECZK1 and downloads at 620.33MB. No new features are included. Users in supported regions can check for it manually under Settings > Software update > Check for updates. A stable Wi-Fi connection and at least 40% battery are recommended before installing.

This is not an OS upgrade, both devices remain on Android 17. But it’s a critical layer of protection ahead of One UI 9.5, which Samsung confirms both foldables will receive per its official schedule. That update, still in development, is expected to arrive as a minor refinement over Android 17, not the foundation for One UI 10, which remains the next major milestone.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 launched earlier this year with pricing set at $1,899 and $1,299 in the US, and Rs 1,79,999 and Rs 1,19,999 in India. Neither price nor availability changes with this security release.
