Samsung has started rolling out the September 2026 security patch to the Galaxy A57 to an initial set of countries, such as India (as Mohammed Khatri spotted), as part of the monthly security update rollout. Please note that the update may not have reached your country yet, so you’ll have to please wait.

This security patch brings the September 5th, 2026 security patch. This contains all fixes to vulnerabilities discovered since the last security patch released for the phone.

An update might take 5 to 10 minutes to apply, depending on the device and the type of the update being applied.

If you’re seeing “Your software is up to date,” this means that the update hasn’t reached your device yet. Keep checking for updates, as Samsung rolls it out gradually to all devices from country to country, usually starting from Korea.

Galaxy Watch4 is no longer supported

Galaxy Watch4 was the first Samsung Galaxy Watch series that featured Wear OS, an operating system made by Google based on Android. It was released on August 11th, 2021, and it was considered to be the first smartwatch that runs Wear OS 3.

The smartwatch introduced new features that came with the transition from Tizen OS to Wear OS, which brought improvements. Also, it included a sensor, called Samsung BioActive, that included body composition analysis, blood pressure monitoring, and EKG measurement. It originally came with One UI 3.0 Watch, and has been updated four times to One UI 8.0 Watch.

Starting from today, changes were made to the list of supported smartwatches for security patches. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Watch4 is no longer supported, which means that users who rely on the Galaxy Watch4 will no longer be able to get further security updates.

This marks the first Galaxy Watch based on Wear OS to no longer get security updates as of today, since the Galaxy Watch3 was no longer supported as of September 2025. Basic functionality will still work, but no new updates are guaranteed.

If you desire to use new features, such as daily cardio load, you’ll have to upgrade to the newer Galaxy Watch, including the Watch9 and the Watch Ultra2 released this year.

Samsung updates the list of supported devices in September 2026 SMR!

Samsung has re-evaluated the supported devices list as of this month as of today, and you can see the updated list in full here. We have run a comparison of supported models, and the results are now in:

The following devices have been added to the list:

• Monthly security patches
  • Galaxy S26 FE
• Quarterly security patches
  • Galaxy F70 Pro 5G

The above device was released recently, and this means that the phone will receive security updates every month to keep it more secure. It is expected that September 2026 security patch will be released to this device during this month. Additionally, the F70 Pro 5G will receive security patches every quarter.

The following devices have been demoted:

• Monthly to Quarterly
  • Galaxy Z Fold4
  • Galaxy Z Flip4

The above devices will no longer get security updates in the monthly basis, but will receive security updates in the quarterly basis.

The following devices have been removed from the list:

• Quarterly security patches
  • Galaxy Z Fold3
  • Galaxy Z Flip3
  • Galaxy Watch4 40mm, Galaxy Watch4 44mm, Galaxy Watch4 Classic 42mm, Galaxy Watch4 Classic 46mm

This means that support for the Galaxy Z Fold3/Flip3 has been removed and the device will no longer get security patches anymore.

Samsung releases the Galaxy S26 FE!

A new member of the Galaxy S26 flagship family has now become available for purchase in different markets. The Galaxy S26 FE brings premium experiences to more Galaxy users while staying affordable. The device has become available for retail purchase, which means that you are now able to purchase the newest Galaxy FE device yet. It’s the first Galaxy S device shipped with One UI 9.0 pre-installed, which means that you will be able to experience the newest operating system features yet.

The Galaxy S26 FE sports an enhanced three-camera system, which allows you to capture great photographs. With advanced photo processing, you can now feel more confident in taking photos in various situations, whether it’s a still scene or a fast-moving action scene.

My FanCam allows you to track a selected person and keeps them centered during the whole video. Super Steady with Horizontal Lock helps you capture fast-moving footages while maintaining the level balance. 3x optical zoom allows you to take photos from a distance, and an enhanced 12 MP front camera allows you to capture wider group photos. Nightography allows you to capture bright shots in low-light conditions, and Photo Assist uses natural language prompts to refine images.

The Galaxy S26 FE is also packed with AI features, such as Gemini Omni, updated Now Brief, Now Nudge, and Circle to Search with Google. You can now customize briefing cards on your Now Brief page, such as wellness insights. Meanwhile, Now Nudge has been expanded to select third-party apps and notifications, ensuring that more insights turn to relevant actions.

The phone is also built with longevity in mind, providing it with seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates. The phone is powered by a 4,900 mAh battery for more productivity. Fast charging ensures that your phone reaches 69% charge in around 30 minutes with the 45W adapter. Sharp and smooth visuals are also achieved with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with up to 120 Hz refresh rate, which provides clarity for gaming, browsing, and other creative work.

The Galaxy S26 FE is now available for retail purchases across different countries, starting from $699, with Pistachio, Blueberry, and Graphite as available color choices.
