Ninety security fixes sounds like a lot, because it is. Samsung has pushed out a fresh software update for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Galaxy S24 FE, and while it won’t make headlines for flashy new features, it’s the kind of maintenance update that actually matters for your day-to-day security. The bad news? One UI 9.0 based on Android 17 is still nowhere in sight.
As reported by SamMobile, the rollout is happening globally right now. The update for the international versions of the S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra weighs in at 450.43MB and carries firmware version S92xBXXSHDZI1. The Galaxy S24 FE gets its own slightly lighter package at 438.23MB, with firmware version S721BXXSEDZI1. Both bring the September 2026 security patch along for the ride.
To check if it’s available on your device, head to Settings, then Software Update, then Check for Updates. It’s a simple process, and given that this patch addresses 90 known security vulnerabilities, you really shouldn’t sit on it.
But here’s the thing that’s going to sting for S24 owners. One UI 9.0 has been the update everyone’s been circling on their calendars. Android 17 brings meaningful changes, and Samsung fans have been waiting. This patch doesn’t deliver any of that. There’s currently no confirmed timeline for when the stable One UI 9.0 rollout will hit the S24 lineup, which is frustrating given how long these users have been patient.
There’s also a broader story here worth paying attention to. Samsung has already started pushing the October 2026 security patch to the Galaxy S26 series, which means the S24 is now a full month behind on security updates. That gap is pretty standard for how Samsung prioritizes its flagship tiers, but it’s a reminder that newer hardware always gets first dibs. The silver lining is that Samsung may bundle the October patch together with the One UI 9.0 stable release when it finally arrives for the S24 family.
- Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra update size: 450.43MB, firmware S92xBXXSHDZI1

So if you’re rocking an S24 and holding your breath for Android 17, you’ll have to keep waiting. For now, grab this update and at least know your phone is more secure than it was yesterday.
