Samsung's Update Strategy
Samsung has a reputation for being one of the top smartphone manufacturers in terms of regularly issuing monthly security updates. Although the February 2024 update arrived a bit later than usual for the flagship Galaxy devices, the company has now returned to its regular schedule with the March update, even beating Google to the punch.
Upcoming Updates and Features
Other Galaxy models like the Galaxy S23 and Z Fold 5 are anticipated to receive the March patch later in the month. This aligns with Samsung's confirmation that the One UI 6.1 update, showcasing Galaxy AI capabilities, will be available for these devices towards the end of March.
The upcoming update will introduce several features including Circle to Search, AI-powered wallpapers, Generative Edits for images, Note Assistant, and more. To check if the AXBG firmware update is available for your Galaxy S24, simply go to Settings > Software update > Download and install. While carrier-locked devices might experience a slight delay, unlocked models globally are expected to receive the update within the next few days.
