Samsung Galaxy S23 and S24 Series Get Surprise May Security Patches: What’s New?
Samsung users, brace yourselves! The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 series are receiving the May security patch, bringing essential updates to your devices. But there's more to this story than just routine security. Let's dive into what's new and why these updates are crucial.
The Galaxy S23 series is now receiving the May security patch. According to available information, the changelog for the Galaxy S23 series (Galaxy S23: S911USQS6DYDB, Galaxy S23+: S916USQS6DYDB, Galaxy S23 Ultra: S918USQS6DYDB) doesn’t highlight any changes beyond the May patch.
Simultaneously, the Galaxy S24 series is also getting a significant update. This update, identified by firmware S92*BXXU4BYE7, is a hefty 1.1 GB. While it includes the May 1, 2025 security patch, Samsung's notes are vague, stating only that “The stability of functions has been improved.” This lack of specific details is causing some confusion, as users are left wondering exactly what enhancements are included.
This is the third update in four weeks for the Galaxy S24 series. The update is currently rolling out in Europe. Some speculation is that the Galaxy S24 FE and older models may also receive the update soon, though this remains unconfirmed.
So, what's the big deal about these updates, and why should you care? While the S23 update appears to be purely security-focused, the S24 update's large size suggests that it includes more than just security enhancements. These updates are crucial for maintaining device security and optimizing performance.
While Samsung's provided changelogs may leave something to be desired, staying updated ensures you receive the latest security measures and potential performance boosts. Keep an eye out for the update notification on your device, and be sure to install it promptly.
