Samsung Galaxy S24 users can now download a new software update. Although it’s not the update people have been waiting for, it’s still important.

According to SamMobile, a new software update is being rolled out for the carrier-locked versions of the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra. The firmware version for this update is S92xUSQS4AXJA, and it includes the November 2024 security patch. This update addresses multiple security vulnerabilities, but does not introduce any new features. Instead, it resolves dozens of security issues identified in the previous software version.

Last week, Samsung released the same update for the Galaxy Tab S7 FE.

Although the new security update is important, users have been patiently waiting for the next release, One UI 7. This update, based on Android 15, will offer a refreshed design and enhanced features for Galaxy devices. It includes several redesigned icons and a new camera user interface.

One UI 7 includes modifications such as a pill for system apps on the home screen, reminiscent of Apple’s Dynamic Island. However, unlike Apple, which places its similar feature at the top center of the screen, Samsung’s Dynamic Island will be located on the left side of the notification area.

Once expected to arrive earlier this year, One UI 7 might not launch until early next year. According to reliable tipster Ice Universe, Samsung is expected to release the first One UI 7 beta to testers in the coming weeks. Although many anticipated this launch in July, it has been delayed by several months.

To check for the new security update on your Galaxy S24 series device, go to Settings and then navigate to Software Update.

From lecture notes to design projects, I picked the right iPads that belong in your bag
Stop taking lecture notes on your phone and get one of these iPad and Pencil combos

A semester’s worth of notebooks, printouts, and loose assignment sheets can turn your backpack into hefty luggage. This is where the iPad steps in, not by making your reading list shorter, but by making your academics less cluttered. Add an Apple Pencil, and the same tablet can handle handwritten lecture notes.

It's not all work and no play, as the iPad can double as a handheld gaming console or streaming device. But at the end of the day, the real question is, "Which one is right for you?" With the various models under its belt, Apple has an iPad for everyone. It currently sells four very different iPads and two relevant Pencil models, with compatibility changing depending on the tablet.

Motorola may have built the iPad alternative Android users have been waiting for
The Moto Pad 70 could be the affordable tablet that finally gets the basics right
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Motorola has revealed the Moto Pad 70, a new mid-range Android tablet with a large display, stylus support, 5G connectivity, and a sizeable battery.

The tablet will launch in India on August 8 through Flipkart. Its 12.1-inch 2.5K display, included Moto Pen, 10,200mAh battery, and 68W charging give it several features that could appeal to people considering Apple’s base iPad. However, the mid-range Dimensity 6400 processor means it is unlikely to match the iPad in raw performance.
