Samsung’s September Update: New Features and Essential Security Remediations

Samsung has started deploying its September update for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 in South Korea, bringing new functionalities and essential security upgrades. This update enhances the Now Bar and Samsung DeX, while also providing vital security remediations for vulnerabilities in Android Systems and Qualcomm elements.

New Functionalities

• Google Finance Integration: Users can now access stock prices directly from their lock screen through the Now Bar. Significant stock price fluctuations for items on a user’s watchlist will be displayed at the close of the trading session.
• Samsung DeX Widgets: Users can place widgets like calendars, clocks, and aesthetic images on the home screen in Samsung DeX mode, boosting productivity and personalization.

Security Remediations

The update addresses two major vulnerabilities:

• Android System Update (CVE-2025-48539): A vital enhancement aimed at bolstering system security.
• Qualcomm Component Update (CVE-2025-27034): A critical remediation for weaknesses in Qualcomm’s proprietary components.

Deployment and Accessibility

The update is presently rolling out in South Korea and is anticipated to expand to more regions, including the U.S., as the week advances. Owners of other Samsung models, such as the Galaxy S25 series, may also receive the DeX widget functionality in upcoming updates.

Market Reaction

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has attained notable popularity, leading Samsung to boost production from 200,000 to 260,000 units. The Fold 7 captured 60% of pre-orders, eclipsing the Flip 7, which historically garnered more consumer attention.
