Samsung is rolling out its August 2024 update widely to Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Here’s what’s new and what devices have received the update.
Samsung Galaxy August 2024 update – what’s new?
Samsung doesn’t always deliver new features in its monthly security updates, and this August update isn’t much different. For most devices, this is merely a bug-fixing update. It also doesn’t yet bring the arrival of One UI 6.1.1, which will presumably arrive sometime in September at this point. Samsung’s Android 15 beta is also expected to start in September.
The one big new feature in the August 2024 update is the expansion of Google’s Circle to Search feature to more Galaxy devices. Samsung has expanded the feature to several Galaxy A devices as well as the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+.
Alongside that, the update brings a number of security fixes, as detailed on Samsung’s website. There was one fix marked “Critical” related to memory corruption.
Notably, this month’s update also marks the very first software update for Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 following their launch in July.
