The new update is now rolling out for users of the clamshell folding phone in over a dozen European countries including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. The rollout could soon reach users in the US as well.<br \/>\nThe latest update for the Galaxy Z Flip 5G (SM-F707B) comes with the firmware version F707BXXS4DUG3 in European countries. It doesn\u2019t bring any new features or enhancement to the table. However, you can expect a good number of vulnerability fixes.<br \/>\nAccording to Samsung\u2019s latest security bulletin, the August SMR (security maintenance release) contains fixes for over 40 vulnerabilities. These include two critical issues found in Android OS. The new SMR also patches eight Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) items. In case you didn\u2019t know, SVEs are security vulnerabilities exclusive to Samsung devices.<br \/>\nThe Galaxy Z Flip 5G isn\u2019t the first Samsung phone to receive the new security patch, of course. As always, the Korean firm was the first to release the latest SMR and has already rolled it out to dozens of smartphone models all over the world. The 5G-less Galaxy Z Flip received it last week. The likes of the Galaxy S21, Galaxy Fold, Fold 5G, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 8, and many others have also received the update over the past couple of weeks. You can expect many more Galaxy devices to join the party throughout the course of this month.<br \/>\nGalaxy Z Flip 5 gets August security patch<br \/>\nLaunched in August 2020, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G is just turning a year old. It\u2019s essentially a 5G-equipped version of the original clamshell folding phone that Samsung launched in February last year. Both devices have arrived with the Android 10-based One UI 2.5. They have since received updates to Android 11 with One UI 3.1 on top. Samsung is now preparing to unveil its second-gen Flip in a couple of days.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, if you\u2019re rocking the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, a new update is on the way now, introducing the latest August security patch. You should receive a notification prompting you to download the update over the air (OTA). You can also manually check for updates from your phone\u2019s Settings app, under the Settings &gt;&gt; Software update &gt;&gt; Download and install menu. If there\u2019s no OTA update available, wait for a few days for it to reach your unit.<br \/>\nThe post August Security Patch Released To Galaxy Z Flip 5G appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Flip-AM-AH-11.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G has started receiving the August 2021 Android security patch.
