After the Galaxy S24 series (including the Galaxy S24 FE), it's the turn of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 to receive the October 2024 security update.

The latest update for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been rolled out in Europe. Other regions should get the update soon. In Europe, the update can be identified by the baseband version F731BXXS3DXI9.

There's nothing exciting about the Galaxy Z Flip 5 update, which only includes the October 2024 security patches. A total of 42 vulnerabilities have been patched. 12 of them only affect Galaxy phones and tablets. The rest affect all Android devices.

There's also a patch rolled out for Galaxy devices running certain Exynos processors. Of course, this patch doesn't apply to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 because it runs on Snapdragon.

If you own a Galaxy Z Flip 5, you can manually download the update for your device by navigating to the Settings app → Software update → Download and install.

Interestingly, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 received the October security update before the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Hopefully, Samsung will address this issue soon.
