A new month approaches, but we have Samsung April updates coming through in a bit of a surprise way. We noticed that Samsung is pushing out a new round of updates to the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S25 series phones, as well as to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5.
The updates for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 appear to be pretty typical. These updates are the April Android security patch and bring very little, other than those patches. These phones both saw March updates at the end of March, so we’re simply getting April updates for each at the last minute once again.
For the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S25 lines, these are 2nd April updates.
The Galaxy S26 first saw April updates within the first week of the month and then the Galaxy S25 series received April updates on April 9. We have it all documented in our Samsung April update tracker.
To see a new round that isn’t the May patch and that also happens to be a build no one has seen yet, we find that odd. There aren’t many details to on other than the build, as the Verizon changelogs for each simply state that these provide “the most up to date Android security patches for your device.”
Here they are:
If we find out that there is something special with these new builds, we’ll let you know.
