International Galaxy Z Fold 2 Variants Are Now Getting September Security Patch


The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is getting yet another firmware update today which brings along the September 2021 security patch. The update is reportedly rolling out globally, with users in a handful of regions already seeing the OTA update notification. The update has a size of 200MB with the version number F916BXXS2EUI.

The Z Fold 2 may no longer be in favor since the launch of its successor. However, the Z Fold 2 was a significant upgrade for the company, especially coming from the original Z Fold.

Similarly, Samsung upped the stakes significantly with the 2021 refresh of the Galaxy Z Fold. The phone sports a 7.6-inch 2208×1768 main display and a 6.7-inch 2,268×832 cover display. Both use Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED 2X screens with a 120Hz refresh rate. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 5G is running the show here backed by the Adreno 660 GPU.
