Galaxy S25 US Users Get Surprise May 2025 Update: Camera and UI Boost!
In a surprising turn of events, Samsung Galaxy S25 owners in the United States are reporting early access to the May 2025 security update. Typically, carrier-locked variants of Samsung devices in the US are among the last to receive these updates, but this time, Samsung seems to have flipped the script. This unexpected rollout not only delivers essential security patches but also brings some notable improvements, particularly to the camera and user interface.
Reports indicate that firmware version S93xUSQS3AYDF is being rolled out to Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra devices across major carriers in the US. This is significantly ahead of the usual schedule, catching many users off guard in the best way possible.
While this isn't a major feature update, beyond the security enhancements the update also incorporates some unspecified camera improvements. These enhancements are linked to version 15.0.02.42 of the camera app with a new version of the plugin One UI Home (version 16.0.05.59). The update size is approximately 1.4GB. The update addresses bugs in the user interface, contributing to a smoother and more responsive user experience.
The May 2025 security update includes patches for Android 15 and One UI 7. Details on the specific vulnerabilities addressed are expected to be released soon. Galaxy S25 users in other regions can anticipate receiving the update in the coming days.
Coincidentally, the One UI 7 (Android 15) update has also begun rolling out to Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones on the AT&T network in the US, adding new features and improvements and bringing a revamped interface with redesigned icons and widgets and enhanced security features.
This surprising early release in the US and the rollout of One UI 7 showcase Samsung’s commitment to providing timely updates and improvements to its flagship devices. It's a welcome change for US users who have traditionally experienced delays in receiving updates.
