Samsung's January Update Arrives for Galaxy S25 and Foldable Phones

The new year has brought out another month of fresh updates for Samsung devices. The Galaxy S25 line, as well as the two most recent foldables from Samsung, are all seeing new builds and security patches. Samsung 2026 January updates are available for the Galaxy S25 Ultra (and all other Galaxy S25 devices), Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 6. This is likely only the beginning, though, as so many other Samsung devices, like the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S23 series are still very much within their window of support. The foldable side of things looks the same, with so many Fold and Flip devices scheduled to continue to receive updates for years to come. This new round of updates that you can download on your Samsung phone is really nothing more than a January security patch. Verizon details that it “provides the most up to date Android security patches” and nothing more. No mention of new camera or software features can be found this time around. But that’s not surprising, since we know One UI 8.5 is right around the corner with a revamped Bixby that is powered by Perplexity AI.
