One UI 8 is the last OS update for Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4
Samsung’s 2022 foldables, including the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4, will receive four years of OS updates and five years of security patches. Following this, Android 16 is the last major OS update for these foldables just like the Galaxy S22, as they came with Android 12 during their release. Samsung will only release quarterly security updates for these devices.
Other Chinese foldables launched in 2022 are still a far cry away from getting the Android 16 update. Compared to them, Samsung devices receive major OS releases quickly.
