September 2024 patch:
The September patch is a quite fruitful development for the Galaxy S24 users. It is aimed at addressing many minor issues left in the recent major update. The battery drain and overheating concerns should also be improved.
To update your Galaxy, access the Software update section within Settings. You will get Download and install button to trigger the process. If the phone fetches a new release, it will be downloaded on the fly, enabling the Restart button.
One UI 7 Beta – An uncertain hold
One UI 7 Beta Program hasn’t been announced for the Galaxy S24 series. We are quite near to Samsung’s Developer Conference 2024 – scheduled for October 3. Meanwhile, there’s no sign of the Beta Program to commence.
Samsung has recently released the One UI 6.1.1 features. Many older Galaxies received upgraded Galaxy AI tricks from the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. It’s an appetizer for the users as the Beta Program is getting delayed again and again.
Samsung Galaxy Ring is getting a September 2024 firmware update. With this release, the company initiated the innovative wearable gadget’s support lifecycle. The first update is tiny but welcome stuff for the Ring owners.
theonecid/X spotted that the Galaxy Ring started getting the first firmware update from Samsung. The build weighs under 1MB and brings more reliable Bluetooth connectivity and unspecified improvements to Samsung Health.
As the Galaxy Ring is not directly functional, you have to install the update through your Samsung Galaxy smartphone. The Galaxy Wearable update would be your bridge to install the new firmware on your Galaxy Ring.
The new update improves the smart ring’s Bluetooth connectivity. Owners of the Galaxy Ring would have a reliable experience with Samsung’s futuristic device. However, a future release should bring some notable changes to the table.
It is assumed that the company has been working on a major update for Galaxy Ring. Some reviewers noted that the ring’s battery life should be improved. The issue of occasional inaccurate health tracking would also be fixed.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Ring back in July, marking the company’s first foray into the smart ring space. We haven’t seen much in the way of updates since its release, but it looks like one has just rolled out.
