Galaxy Z Fold 7 firmware

Following the Galaxy S25 launch, this year is a big one for Samsung and in the second half of the year, the tech giant is expected to host another massive Unpacked event focusing on foldable devices. Now, We got new information that firmware development for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is underway. 

Yesterday, a firmware leak suggests that Samsung is also working on an affordable foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip FE.

Now, the alleged Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been spotted on Samsung One UI firmware servers with the model number SM-F966U. This result shows that the development of the company’s upcoming flip smartphone is progressing positively.

The letter ‘U’ in the model number of the Galaxy device and the ATT CSC code indicate that Samsung is developing One UI firmware for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 phone for the US, at the very least. Plus, the firmware version is F761BXXU0AYB1.

A few weeks ago, SamMobile also claimed that firmware for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 was under development in Europe. This hints that firmware for other regions, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7, is also in the works. Now this happened in the US.

However, the report does not clarify whether the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will come with One UI 7.1.1, or One UI 7.0.1, but recently rumors say that the phone could come with One UI 7.0.1.

Last month, a Samsung executive highlighted future foldable plans and said that we are looking forward to diversifying our lineup later this year to expand our customer base by enhancing the form factor design and durability.

As per the initial acknowledgments, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 device might launch in July 2025 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7. However, an official confirmation on the matter is awaited.

Galaxy Tab S10 Lite One UI 8

Samsung’s latest Fan Edition tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, are happy as they receive the latest January 2026 security update. Notably, the firmware contains the newest safety improvements that will improve the tablet’s current health for a reliable experience.

According to the inputs, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series tablet with model numbers SM-X520, SM-X526N, SM-X620, and SM-X626N is receiving the latest patch via the One UI versions X520XXS6BZA3, X526NKOS6BZA4, X620XXS6BZA3, and X626NKOS6BZA3, and a software package of 500MB. Though the firmware doesn’t weigh much, we suggest using a stable Wi-Fi connection for installation.

This update doesn’t add any significant new features to the device, aside from the January 2026  security patch. However, you can expect some underlying performance optimizations and fixes for glitches that could have negatively impacted the user experience.

It’s important to note that this update will not harm your personal data. However, it’s always a good idea to back up your data beforehand. Also, the update package will be automatically deleted after the installation is complete.

Samsung’s January 2026 security patch addresses 55 security vulnerabilities. Google helped fix one critical vulnerability and 20 high-risk issues found in Android. Samsung also added 30 additional security fixes specifically for Galaxy phones. These fixes address both critical and medium-level risks.

Galaxy S26 camera button

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series has started emerging in the leaks, and the latest one has shed light on the camera button of the upcoming 2026 flagship. 

As mentioned by Android Authority, a former employee at a Samsung supplier revealed on LinkedIn that they contributed to an initiative developing a new camera button with swipe gesture functionality for the Samsung Galaxy S26.

This report states that Samsung is working on an Apple-style Camera Control button for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. An Apple-style Camera Control button on iPhone models lets you quickly open your iPhone camera and access common camera settings. 

We can now say that the Galaxy S26 series will be the first Samsung phones in years to feature a dedicated camera button. 

For your information, the last Samsung phone with a dedicated camera button was probably the Galaxy K Zoom from 2014, which was essentially an Android-powered digital camera that could also make calls.

On the other hand, Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the Galaxy S26 lineup. However, according to reports, the company may unveil the Galaxy S26 series at a Samsung Unpacked event in February 2026. This upcoming series could be available in early March. Stay tuned for more information.
