Frustration with the Delay in November Security Update for Samsung Z Fold 6

[walidwalid123]

As a loyal Samsung user, I’m extremely disappointed with the delay in the release of the November security update for the Z Fold 6. With only two days left in the month, there’s still no sign of the update, which is concerning given the importance of timely security patches.

We’re paying premium prices for these devices, and part of that expectation is a commitment to software and security support.

What’s the reason behind this delay? We deserve transparency and quicker action on such critical updates. I hope Samsung resolves this soon and improves its update schedule moving forward.

Anyone else frustrated with this? Let’s discuss.

Hello. I can only imagine your frustration.

Me? I am not frustrated. There's a lot more to security/being secure other than monthly updates. There's a thread with a similar concern at this link:

I've attached a portion relevant to this post, of a screenshot of my response which I posted there.

I think it's best to patiently wait for a good quality update, when it is ready. In the meantime, take all the necessary security steps that you can, on your own. An example is to pay for security, especially if you're this conscious.

Hello, thank you for sharing your perspective. I appreciate your constructive approach to security concerns and your emphasis on practical measures we can take independently. I understand the sentiment behind waiting for quality updates and agree that there’s more to security than just the frequency of patches.
However, consistent and timely updates also play a crucial role in maintaining device security, as they address newly identified vulnerabilities.

Balancing patience with advocacy for better communication from companies like Samsung might help ensure both quality updates and improved user trust. Thanks again for the insights!

Feel free to adjust based on tone or additional points you'd like to highlight.

"I got tired of waiting for Samsung, so I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile and flashed it to my phone using Samsung Odin. Worked like a charm!"
