Multiple Samsung smartphones are receiving the March 2023 Android security patch today. The Korean firm has released the latest security update for the Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy A52s, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy A13. The new SMR (Security Maintenance Release) has already reached dozens of other Galaxy devices.
This month’s security update for the Galaxy S21 FE is currently rolling out in a handful of Asian countries. Users in India and surrounding regions are getting this update with the firmware build number G990EXXS4EWC2 (via). Samsung will gradually roll out this software release in more markets, including the US. Don’t expect anything apart from the latest security patch, though. This update comes right on the heel of One UI 5.1, so that isn’t surprising.
That’s true for the Galaxy A52 5G as well. Samsung recently pushed the One UI 5.1 update to the 2021 premium mid-range model. The latest release now brings this month’s vulnerability fixes. The update is rolling out widely in Asia and Europe as we speak. The new firmware version for this model is A526BXXU2EWB5. A wider rollout of the March SMR for the Galaxy A52 5G should be right around the corner.
The March SMR for the Galaxy A52s, meanwhile, is initially rolling out in Latin America. The update is live for users in a host of countries in the region. SamMobile confirms the availability in Paraguay, Colombia, Uruguay, Argentina, Guatemala, Bolivia, Mexico, and Peru. The updated firmware build number for the device is A528BXXS2EWB7. Samsung didn’t release the Galaxy A52s in the US but users in other markets should get this update soon.
The Galaxy A13 is another Samsung phone that is making the jump to the latest security patch today. This budget handset is also initially picking up the new SMR in Latin America, though the rollout seems to be currently limited to Colombia. The Korean firm should push the update more widely in the coming days. The Galaxy A13 isn’t eligible for One UI 5.1 but it will get Android 14.
The March update patches more than 60 vulnerabilities in Galaxy devices
This month’s security update contains more than 60 vulnerability patches for Galaxy devices. At least five of those were critical flaws, according to Google. If you’re using any of these Samsung smartphones, or any other for that matter, go to Settings > Software update and tap on Download and install to check for new updates. We will keep you posted as the company pushes updates to more Galaxy devices.
