Galaxy S24 January patch T-Mobile
Earlier this week, Samsung released the Android 15-based One UI 7 beta 3 to the Galaxy S24. A day later, the South Korean tech giant started rolling out the January 2025 update for three devices in Korea. Today, the company is expanding the January 2025 security update for the Galaxy S24 series in the US. This update is based on the Android 15-based One UI 6.1.
The company is preparing the latest software rollout for its US devices. After the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 4 foldable, Samsung is rolling out the January 2025 update for locked models of the Galaxy S24 series on the T-Mobile network carrier in the US.
According to the information, Galaxy S24 users can fetch the new firmware with the Onu UI 6.1 version S92xUSQS4AXL3. Make sure to have enough storage space in your handset as the software weighs around 500 MB. We also suggest using a regular Wi-Fi connection.

As usual, the January 2025 update changelog does not bring any major changes to the phone. Still, it fixes the hidden bugs and issues of the device that may spoil the user experience. Consequently, phone holders get a bug-free experience.
For starters, this update is being rolled out slowly in batches. It may take some time to cover all device owners in the US. Samsung should release it for devices on other networks soon. In the meantime, you can check for new versions in Settings > Software update > Download and install and manually install the latest firmware.
Currently, some Galaxy S24 users are enjoying One UI 7 features and improvements before the stable release. Recently, Samsung released One UI 7 beta 3 and it is expected that Samsung will release the stable update for your device in late January or early February. To get notified when the new update arrives, follow our channel on Twitter or Linkedin.
Samsung has released the February 2026 security update for four more Galaxy devices – the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. This update keeps your phone secure and running smoothly instead of adding new features or changing its look.
As always, this update improves the phone’s security and makes the system run more smoothly. This update fixes issues with the previous software version and helps make the device more stable. Samsung says this update is important because it protects users from security risks and keeps personal data safe.

Samsung usually rolls out updates gradually, so users in other markets should also receive the same update in a week or two.
To manually download the update, go to Settings >> Software Update >> Download and Install. Once the download is complete, tap Restart/Install Now to complete the installation. Make sure your phone is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and has enough battery.
In addition to the security update, Samsung is also working on One UI 8.5. The beta version is currently available for the Galaxy S25 series in some regions, and Samsung has confirmed that the stable version will launch with the Galaxy S26 series tomorrow. Stay tuned for more details.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series has started receiving the One UI 8.5 beta 5 update. The latest beta software contains several bug fixes and provides stability. This is likely the last beta before a stable release.
One UI 8.5 Beta 5 ZZAN is rolling out to Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra in key markets. So far, it has been rolled out in Germany, India, South Korea, the US, and the UK.
Additionally, the February 2026 security patch has been tagged with the latest Beta update. It provides fixes for 25 that come from Google for Android, and 12 are provided by Samsung Mobile for additional protection of the One UI operating system.
The One UI 8.5 Beta 5 software includes an updated Bixby version that improves the usability experience. Moreover, this beta version updated your Samsung apps to the latest available versions.
One UI 8.5 Beta 5 update changelog:
- Version – One UI 8.5, ZZAN
Major changes/improvement
- Bixby version update applied
Samsung also revealed that the One UI 8.5 official rollout for the Galaxy S26 series will begin next week. That said, users of these flagships can expect the Stable update next month, and no new Beta will be provided in between.
If you’re already part of the One UI 8.5 beta program, you can get beta 5 on your Galaxy by going to Settings > Software updates > Download and install.
Samsung is working on the One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 QPR2 on the Galaxy S25 series. The One UI 8.5 is Samsung’s latest version of Android customisation for Galaxy smartphones. Now, the reportred tha Samsung may offers more refined UI design for the upcoming One UI 9, which is based on Android 17.
With One UI 8.5, Samsung has replaced the rectangular bottom bar with the rectangular tabs found in One UI 8.
According to @tarunvats33, One UI 9 will further enhance the pill-shaped design across all apps. Therefore, Samsung fans are hoping the company will add frosted glass and smoother animations in the upcoming update.
A tipster shared images of Quick Share from One UI 9.0 on their X handle. As you can see in the images below:
It has a more compact floating pill-shaped bottom bar compared to One UI 8.5, and the tabs also look more rounded.
We expect One UI 9 to officially launch around July 2026, probably alongside the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8. On the other hand, Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed when One UI 9 will arrive, so keep an eye on the Samsung Members app for the official roadmap later this spring.
This update will be based on the Android 17 operating system. The foldable devices will be the first to launch with the latest OS pre-installed.
