Samsung has initiated the rollout of its September security patch for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 in South Korea, introducing both new features and critical security enhancements. The update, identified by the version number ending in AYI1, includes two notable additions: integration of Google Finance into the Now Bar, allowing users to view stock price changes directly from the lock screen, and expanded widget support in Samsung DeX mode, enabling users to add functional or decorative widgets like calendars and clocks to the home screen. These features enhance the user experience by providing quicker access to financial information and greater customization options in desktop mode.
On the security front, the September patch addresses several vulnerabilities, including two critical fixes highlighted in Google’s Android Security Bulletin. One resolves an issue in the Android System (CVE-2025-48539), while the other patches a Qualcomm closed-source component vulnerability (CVE-2025-27034). These updates are part of a broader set of „High” level security fixes aimed at protecting users from potential exploits. Samsung typically begins such rollouts in its home market before expanding to other regions, so global users, including those in the U.S., can expect the update to arrive in the coming days.
Beyond the software update, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been making waves due to its unexpected popularity, leading Samsung to adjust production plans. Initially planning to produce 200,000 units in September, the company has increased this target to 260,000 in response to strong demand. Pre-order data from South Korea revealed that the Fold 7 accounted for 60% of pre-orders for the new foldables, a shift from previous years where the Flip model was more popular. This surge highlights growing consumer interest in larger foldable devices and suggests a successful reception for Samsung’s latest innovations.
