Samsung is going big with updates this weekend, if we look at the security updates. Seven devices are updated with a new security patch. It is striking that the manufacturer is spreading a second January update for the Galaxy S21 series.

Samsung updates from January

Samsung has opened the floodgates of the ‘update lake’. The South Korean manufacturer has made a new update available for seven devices. We start with the Samsung Galaxy S21 series. The January security update was previously released for these three models. However, Samsung seems to have found some extra things that they want to address, so a second January update is rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+ and the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Samsung has also prepared the new January update for other devices. For example, it is the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE’s turn to receive the January update, so we hear from Marianne. This update contains several dozen patches against vulnerabilities in Android. In addition, Samsung itself has also added its own patches, which address issues in Samsung’s hardware and software.

The same update is also available for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 are also due to receive the January update. As far as we can see, no other issues have been addressed with the updates. So don’t expect any new features.
