Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will offer 7 Android OS upgrade support: Tipster
Samsung shipped the Galaxy S24 series with 7 years of Android and security updates, meanwhile, a new leak claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will also offer the same upgrade support. To be mentioned, this longer update support will make the upcoming foldable reliable and more relevant.
According to the information of @TheGalox_, the Pixel Fold 2 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be the only book-style foldable that will receive 7 years of Android and security updates. Notably, the approach of giving this much longer Android support started with Google’s Pixel 8 devices.
Before the information on Galaxy Z Fold 6 update support, a previous leak also indicated that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 would ship with a 7 Android OS upgrade. Hence, users can expect the Galaxy S24-like software on the sixth-generation foldable models the Fold 6 and Flip 6.

Google launched the Pixel 9 series earlier than the usual Pixel flagship launch timeline. The Android 16 is also reportedly coming earlier than we’d expect, and the latest report says Google could launch Pixel 9a in the first quarter of the next year.
According to AndroidHeadlines, Google Pixel 9a could be announced by mid-March 2025. Multiple sources citing the outlet confirmed that the next affordable Pixel will go on sale before the end of March 2025.
It seems Google is preparing to bring its Galaxy S24 FE rival around the 2025 iPhone SE debut. Samsung has recently launched the new FE smartphone, while Apple is said to announce the next-generation iPhone SE early next year.
Recently, the CAD renders of Pixel 9a smartphone have been revealed. The images showcased Google’s design decisions. The next A series Pixel could not get bumped camera bar shown in the Pixel 9 series flagships.
Pixel 9 Pro XL reportedly sends private user data to Google servers every 15 minutes. A security researcher at Cybernews discovered that the phone frequently transmits sensitive user data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, and locations.
The discovery sparked a privacy fear as private data is being sent to Google through the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The smartphone sometimes transmits sensitive user data to Google servers even before any apps are installed.
The report also states that the Pixel 9 Pro XL has remote management capabilities, which operate without user consent or awareness. It seems there’s a severe security flaw within the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s operating system.
The phone communicates with services like Google Photos’ Face Grouping without user interaction, raising further privacy concerns. The native Calculator is also suspicious as it could leak calculation history to unauthorized users under certain conditions.
“The amount of data transmitted and the potential for remote management casts doubt on who truly owns the device. Users may have paid for it, but the deep integration of surveillance systems in the ecosystem may leave users vulnerable to privacy violations,” Nazarovas said.
It looks like the AI integration has made some major security flaws across the OS. Google packed the new Pixel phones with advanced security features. The research only discusses potential threats, with data leak isn’t such a general task.
Interestingly, Cybernews researchers employed a “man-in-the-middle” approach to capture and analyze this traffic but noted limitations due to the rooting process. As AI is making our lives easier, it is putting the data at threat at the same time.
Samsung has recently launched its new premium Galaxy S series tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra. These Galaxy Tab S10 tablets come with some stunning wallpapers that are now available for download.
