The new April 2026 firmware update for Galaxy S26 Ultra will soon reach India within the next few days. It will also bring the new Apple AirDrop support, but also carry the lack of a custom font option. Indian users should check for any unfinished updates on their Galaxy S26 series.

The update is currently reaching users in South Korea and will expand gradually in the coming days. It is based on the current One UI 8.5 version, which is expected to be released for other Galaxy devices soon.
