No one can beat Samsung when it comes to the latest Android security patch rollout. Each month, the tech giant introduces the latest security patch too ahead. However, the December 2021 patch update is yet another proof of Samsung’s impressive software development mechanism.
According to the latest news (via XDA), Samsung released the latest One UI 4 Beta update for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldable phones. Alongside various fixes for issues and errors, this release comes with the December 2021 security patch, which will release for Pixel phones two weeks later.
To be mentioned, the update was first released for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 consumers in South Korea a few days ago. Now, the Korean tech giant is expanding it to the One UI 4 Beta participants in more regions including India and Germany.
