August 2024 Security Patch Details
According to the scope page, the August 2024 security patch fixes over 45 security issues, including 1 critical and 34 high-level vulnerabilities from Google. Notably, 1 CVE was previously resolved in earlier updates, and 2 CVEs are not applicable to Galaxy devices.
Moreover, the update contains fixes for 14 Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) specific to Samsung devices and apps. This includes improvements to system services, Knox services, Galaxy Watch, and other related components.
Last month, Samsung introduced One UI 6.1.1 with Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 smartphones. The company is now working to start the One UI 6.1.1 update rollout for other Galaxy devices, mainly for some older Galaxy Z series.
If you like small-sized phones, you won’t want to skip the Galaxy S25. Samsung’s upcoming smartphone could be just 7.2mm thick, leading the crown, which could also get a double-layer camera design – detailed in a new leak.
The Galaxy S25 could adopt a new double-layer camera ring design. The component could have a double layer, with the lower one being thinner than the above one. The redesigned rings might only be seen in the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus models.
In addition, the Galaxy S25 may measure only 7.2mm thick, 1mm less than the Ultra. The camera rings may be 1.8mm (both layers combined) on the S25. We expect the same ring measurement on the Galaxy S25 Plus variant.
Well, there isn’t any rumor citing camera upgrades in non-S25 Ultra models. The ultra-wide camera could only be upgraded on the Ultra. Meanwhile, the company recently debuted two new image sensors under its ISOCELL umbrella.
Galaxy S25 Ultra, on the other hand, could feature a 2.4mm camera ring. It is said to be 8.2mm thick (overall), beating the iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of thickness. The phone will also be ditching the Note-like boxy design for improved handling.
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. There is much time left in the lineup’s official unveiling. Early rumors can’t be considered the final design decision, hence, we await some official promo material to leak out.
