Samsung is rolling out a new firmware update to the Galaxy S26 series and Z Fold 7 in the US. The company is reportedly pushing the third release, dated April 2026, to the flagship phones, while the foldable is getting its second.

US users of the Galaxy S26 series and Z Fold 7 can identify the latest firmware update via PDA build version AZDI and AZD3, respectively.

As spotted by MohammedKhatri, the builds are available for carrier-locked models. Meanwhile, not many users reported the availability so far. It seems a gradual rollout, or probably a build with limited carrier availability.

Earlier, Verizon released 2nd firmware update to the Galaxy S26 and S26 lineups. Later, Samsung brought the second April update to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which especially includes close-up camera improvements.

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 3rd April OTA seemingly bringing camera fixes to US users. The 24-megapixel camera behaviour would enhance as you install the AZDI build. For the Fold 7, it appears to be a stability improvement update.

Samsung is swiftly working to open the One UI 9 Beta Program. Recently, the first Beta build of the new software has surfaced for US models. It signals that preparations are already underway and US should be invited soon.
