The original Galaxy Z Flip from 2020 gets this 2024 update

Samsung just couldn't let Google have all the fun and alongside the premiere of the Galaxy S24, the giant announced that it would also offer seven years of software support. This means that potentially, if we don't blow up the planet in a third nuclear war, Samsung's latest and greatest should have users covered until 2031 and Android 21. The original Galaxy Z Flip from 2020 (what year is that? was!) will not be. I won't get Android 21, nor the current Android 14. But there is one 2024 update that this OG clamshell is getting: the January 2024 Security Update. European countries are the first to get it benefit (via SamMobile).

The update (firmware version F700FXXSEKWL1) has been rolled out in Italy. The previous version of the software contains 75 security vulnerabilities that this security update is designed to fix. However, it's worth noting that the January 2024 security update doesn't bring any new features or performance improvements, so don't expect the latest cool things of 2024 to appear on your 2020 device.

To check for the new update, you can open the Settings app, then go to Software Update and tap Download & Install.

Of the 75 security vulnerabilities, one is considered critical, 68 are considered high risk, and the rest are classified as posing a moderate threat.
