Samsung has begun rolling out a new update for the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, S24 Ultra, and S24 FE globally, carrying the September 2026 security patch that fixes 90 vulnerabilities. The update is roughly 450MB for the standard S24 models and 438MB for the S24 FE, but it does not include the stable One UI 9 build based on Android 17, which Samsung has not yet scheduled.
Samsung's support pages now list stable One UI 9 builds for the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra on T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, and US Cellular, carrying build S94xUSQU4BZID with a September 5, 2026 security patch. Unlocked Galaxy S26 Ultra units are also beginning to receive the update via a smaller download, and Samsung has published a full changelog covering Galaxy AI, Samsung Health, privacy, Bixby, accessibility, and DeX features.
A faulty test firmware update pushed by Samsung to some smart refrigerator models in South Korea left units frozen mid-update, disabling features like auto-open doors, interior lighting and temperature control. The malfunction struck days before the Chuseok holiday, when many households had stocked up on food, and repair technicians were reportedly unable to reach some customers until October 1 or 7 due to the holiday schedule.
