Samsung is rolling out the first monthly security patch of 2025 to more of its Galaxy flagships. The January 2025 update is live for the Galaxy S23, Z Fold 4, Galaxy S21, and Flip 4. The updates address reported security vulnerabilities and seemingly do not bring any other changes.

The Korean company announced today that it will launch a new trade-in program that doesn’t require the purchase of a new handset. The “Galaxy Easy Compensation” scheme will pay Korean Galaxy phone owners money for their old device, with values fluctuating depending on the condition. Crucially, no purchase of a new phone is needed.
