Samsung has begun a wider rollout of the February 2024 Android security patch for Galaxy devices. Following an initial release for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, the company has now pushed the new security update to the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2020), Galaxy M31s, and Galaxy M13. More devices will join the party in the coming days.
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite picks up Samsung’s February update
As of this writing, Samsung’s February 2024 SMR (Security Maintenance Release) is rolling out to the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2020) in Europe and Asia. More specifically, the update is available to users in France, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The new firmware build number for the device is P615XXS7FXA1. Samsung should soon cover the tablet with the latest security patch in more markets.
The company also released a 2022 refresh of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. The newer model, which came with a few upgrades, has yet to pick up the February SMR. Hopefully, Samsung won’t keep its users waiting for the update long. Don’t expect any major user-facing changes, though. The latest update is all about this month’s security fixes. “The device is protected with improved security,” the official changelog states.
The Korean firm has already published the updated security bulletin with the content of the new SMR. The latest security release patches 69 vulnerabilities across the Galaxy family. These include three critical Android OS vulnerabilities, 58 high-severity Android OS vulnerabilities, and eight Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) items. The latter security issues only exist on Samsung products.
If you are using a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2020), you should soon get an update with these security fixes if you haven’t already. Watch out for a notification in the coming days. You can also check for updates manually on your tablet from the Settings app. As Google recently said, not updating devices to the latest security patches is one of the most common cybersecurity mistakes. You might not want to make this mistake.
Galaxy M31s and Galaxy M13 have also received this update
Samsung’s February security patch is also available for the Galaxy M31s and Galaxy M13 in India. The two M-series phones are picking up the new SMR with the firmware build numbers M317FXXS5DXA1 and M136BXXS6DXA1, respectively. Like the two foldables and the 2020 tablet, these devices are also only getting the latest security fixes. There are no new features or other changes in tow.
