Samsung is expanding the July 2024 security update for Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A52s smartphones in more countries. This update fixes several issues to make your Galaxy smartphone more secure, reliable, and stable.
Talking about the Galaxy A54, the July 2024 security update is already available in Korea and the company is now making it available in the US on Trackfone network carrier. Users are receiving this update with One UI build version S546VLUDS9CXG2 and 266.37MB software package.
On the other side, Samsung Galaxy A52 smartphone users are getting a fresh security patch with PDA version A528BXXS9GXF8 in Latin America. Users will have to download around 320MB package to install the update.
This update will bring improved functions to your Galaxy device, mainly related to One UI Home, System UI, and Secure Folder, further improving device security.
Both devices are getting this new update based on Android 14 and One UI 6.1. Samsung will expand the July 2024 security update to more Galaxy A52s and Galaxy A54 users in the coming days or weeks.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE could not lack S Pen support. The company is preparing to unveil a slimmer and lightweight variant of the Z Fold 6. It is said to ditch digitizers for the reduction in thickness, but without killing stylus input.
Tipster IceUniverse claims that S Pen support is still available in Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE. The company has not used a digitizer on the foldable screen panel to reduce thickness. It’s the component responsible for stylus input on previous Fold models.
It appears like the Korean tech giant may have developed a foldable panel without a digitizer. It is capable of supporting input from S Pen (Galaxy stylus). Despite the S Pen support, a dedicated storage compartment is unlikely in the Fold SE.
Previously, it was understood that the smartphone won’t feature S Pen input. The reason was the removal of the digitizer component. It comes as an exciting input that the stylus will still be supported, suggesting an innovative breakthrough.
With the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung introduced many new AI features. S Pen plays a key role in utilizing those features derived from artificial intelligence. That said, the company is indeed bringing the stylus input functionality with SE.
Recently, it was revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition could get a 200-megapixel camera. The phone is said to be 10.6mm thick when folded and 4.9mm in unfolded state, even after supporting the S Pen and digitizer panel.
