Over the past few months, updates have been rolled out with notable frequency. In April and May, Galaxy smartphones received two updates each month, totaling four. As June began, another update was released, followed by a subsequent one. The latest update, dated May 1, 2026, is now available for Samsung’s Android devices. This update, which is 98MB in size, was recently received on a Galaxy S26 Ultra in India, maintaining the same patch date as its predecessor.
