Samsung’s April patch in 2024 brings security updates to Galaxy devices. Here’s our list of phones that are able to update to the latest security patch.

Does a security patch mean new features?

Whenever you see an update to your device, there might always be a little part of you that gets excited about new features. At the beginning of the month, the Galaxy S24 series got an update to the camera array and processing, but the fun seems to have stopped there.

The April security patch for Galaxy phones only addresses vulnerabilities in One UI. To be exact, the list provided by Samsung notes a slew of security concerns that have been dealt with in the patch. That means that if the patch becomes available for your device, you should update it to ensure it’s equipped to handle possible threats.

The Galaxy S21 series was the first to see the April security update. Again, the update brings fixes for software vulnerabilities and shouldn’t house any feature upgrades.
