Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 was the first smartphone to get the November 2020 security patch. Later, the XCover Pro, A02 Core, and flagship series devices like Galaxy S20, Note 20, S10, Note 10, and S9 series have received this latest security update.

According to the information, Samsung is now rolling out a new software update for the first-generation foldable smartphone, Galaxy Fold (unlocked) in the U.S. The latest firmware comes with a build version F900U1UEU4CTJ2 and brings the latest One UI 2.5 based on Android 10. It also installs the October 2020 security patch to improve the security of the device.

The One UI 2.5 adds lots of new features like Samsung DeX, new Wi-Fi measurements as Very Fast, Fast, Normal, or Slow. The bitmoji Stickers are now supported on Always On Display, a new feature has been added to the keyboard search that allows you to search YouTube, and added Split Keyboard support for Landscape mode.

A new Pro Video function has been improved to provide you better video shooting experience. Adding to this a new feature has been added in Messages that lets you call a person who is saved as a pre-configured SOS message contact.

Apart from the security patch, this firmware update doesn’t bring any new features or system enhancements.
