The rollout of a new update for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 was first reported by SamMobile. According to the report, the update comes with the firmware version F711BXXU2AUI1 and includes September 2021 Android security patch.

Samsung is yet to detail the contents of its newest security patch, but it is expected to have fixes for multiple privacy and security-related issues. The new update is also likely to include general bug fixes and device stability upgrades.
