Galaxy S24 series gets its second update in two weeks

Samsung is rolling out a new update to the Galaxy S24 series. It is the second update for the latest Galaxy flagships in as many weeks. The update is currently available to users in Samsung’s homeland, South Korea. A wider rollout is expected in the coming weeks.

The Galaxy S24 series gets another update with the February patch

Samsung took longer than usual to release the first software update for the Galaxy S24 series. The rollout began in mid-February, about three weeks after early buyers received the devices. The company first pushed the update in its homeland. Users in other regions had to wait another week for it.

The update brought camera improvements and fixed the screen vividness issue. It also introduced the February 2024 Android security patch to the flagship trio. As the update reaches users globally, Samsung is pushing another one in South Korea. The new release comes with the firmware build number S92*NKSU1AXBA.

Screenshots posted online show the update weighs 418MB for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It is a smaller package compared to the first release, which weighed over 555MB for the Korean version of the new Samsung flagship. The OTA (over-the-air) package weighed more in some markets, including India and the US.

Since the Galaxy S24 series has already received the February security patch, this update should bring something else. The “U” in the build number also indicates a feature/bug-fixing update rather than a security patch. However, Samsung’s official changelog doesn’t give away much. It mentions some system stability improvements and nothing else.

This update should reach other regions soon

Interestingly, Indian users received the first update for their Galaxy S24 with this build version (AXBA). The original build in South Korea was AXB5, which was also rolled out in Europe. The US Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra received the first update with build version AXB7. This suggests Samsung will push the new update in markets outside South Korea, or at least in Europe.

As far as the content of the update is concerned, we only know as much as you. Samsung may have identified bugs in the original build and could be fixing them with a second release. Since Indian units received the update after the US and European versions, the company may have already included the patch in the original build. Unfortunately, all of this is mere assumption. We will let you know when we have more details.
