Galaxy security patch tightens defenses with 56 fixes in August 2026

Samsung’s August 2026 security patch fixes 56 vulnerabilities across Galaxy devices (38 Google CVEs and 18 Samsung SVEs), with most fixes targeting Android 14–16 and core apps like Contacts, Dialer, Messages, and Galaxy Themes. Google delivers eight critical and 30 high-priority fixes, while Samsung adds two high, 14 moderate, and two undisclosed-priority fixes; nine Google fixes aren’t part of this patch (one already included in July 2026, eight not applicable). A worldwide rollout could begin soon.
