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.

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.
