Samsung has commenced the rollout of its June 2026 security firmware update across European markets, targeting the Galaxy S25 and S26 series alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7. According to reports from users and community contributors including Matthias, Erik, and Ronald, the update includes 33 Android OS vulnerability fixes, five of which are classified as critical, and introduces new Galaxy AI notification management features for specific models.
What is included in the June 2026 security patch?
The June update provides critical security hardening for the Android operating system, with 33 distinct patches. Two of these vulnerabilities are specific to devices utilizing Qualcomm chipsets, making the update particularly vital for the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the entire Galaxy S25 lineup. Beyond security, Samsung has deployed 11 improvements to its suite of One UI applications, specifically targeting the security architecture of the Telefoon app and integrated AI-driven photo and video editing tools.
How do the new Galaxy AI notification features work?
For the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S25 models, the update exceeds 900 MB, largely due to the integration of two new Galaxy AI features: “Prioritize Notifications” and “Summarize Notifications.” According to documentation within the update, these tools are accessible via Settings > Galaxy AI > Notification markers. The prioritization feature uses on-device data to rank alerts by importance, while the summarization tool provides condensed overviews of missed activity.
There is a significant limitation regarding language support. These AI features do not currently support Dutch. To utilize them, users must set their device language to one of the supported options, such as English, German, French, Spanish, or Korean. Notably, these features were already present in the Galaxy S26 series, meaning the June update does not alter the notification functionality for those specific handsets.
Which devices are currently receiving the update?
The rollout covers the Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Edge, and S25 Ultra, as well as the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also confirmed to be receiving the firmware. Industry observers anticipate that the Galaxy S25 FE and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will follow shortly, though Samsung has not released an official timeline for these remaining models.
