Samsung Galaxy S24 users can now download a new software update. Although it’s not the update people have been waiting for, it’s still important.

According to SamMobile, a new software update is being rolled out for the carrier-locked versions of the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra. The firmware version for this update is S92xUSQS4AXJA, and it includes the November 2024 security patch. This update addresses multiple security vulnerabilities, but does not introduce any new features. Instead, it resolves dozens of security issues identified in the previous software version.

Although the new security update is important, users have been patiently waiting for the next release, One UI 7. This update, based on Android 15, will offer a refreshed design and enhanced features for Galaxy devices. It includes several redesigned icons and a new camera user interface.

One UI 7 includes modifications such as a pill for system apps on the home screen, reminiscent of Apple’s Dynamic Island. However, unlike Apple, which places its similar feature at the top center of the screen, Samsung’s Dynamic Island will be located on the left side of the notification area.

Once expected to arrive earlier this year, One UI 7 might not launch until early next year. According to reliable tipster Ice Universe, Samsung is expected to release the first One UI 7 beta to testers in the coming weeks. Although many anticipated this launch in July, it has been delayed by several months.

To check for the new security update on your Galaxy S24 series device, go to Settings and then navigate to Software Update.

When you buy a smartphone from Apple, Samsung, Google, or OnePlus, there’s always going to be the temptation to get a matching set of wireless earbuds to go along with it, as each manufacturer makes its own pair. But what exactly does it mean when you stay loyal to the brand, and is it worth it?

I’ve used the latest phones and earbuds from each manufacturer to find out. Here's what you need to know — and which pair is the best.

Is the Samsung Galaxy S25 going to be more expensive? It’s complicated

In our continuing quest to chronicle the release of the Samsung Galaxy S25, we wrote yesterday about how it might end up being more expensive than the previous generation. However, now we're seeing other information that suggests the situation is far from that simple. Instead, multiple regions throughout the world could have different prices — but it looks like the base Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25 Plus will remain the same price as their direct predecessors, at least in European markets.

The base Galaxy S25 will start at 899 euros (the same as the Samsung Galaxy S24) for the 128GB model and 959 euros for the 256GB model, according to WinFuture. The Galaxy S25 Plus will start at 1,149 euros for the 256GB model and jump to 1,269 euros for the 512GB version. That's the same as the last generation, so no price jumps there.
