Samsung is rolling out the June security update to a bunch of Galaxy devices. The Galaxy A33 5G, Galaxy A03, Galaxy M33 5G, and Galaxy M62 are all getting the latest security patch. This month’s SMR (Security Maintenance Release) patches more than 60 vulnerabilities.
The latest update for the Galaxy A33 5G is widely available in Europe with the firmware build number A336BXXU6CWF2. Users in South Korea are getting the same update with the build number A336NKSU4CWE1, while that for users in Hong Kong is A3360ZHU6CWF2. Interestingly, Samsung’s official changelog also varies in these regions. The Korean changelog mentions updates for the Emergency SOS feature. The company is removing the ability to turn off this feature, a change it also pushed to the Galaxy S23 series and many other devices.
However, the changelog for Europe doesn’t mention anything as such. It only says that the device is getting the latest security fixes. But the presence of “U” in the build number (the sixth character from the last) suggests there’s something more. It’s the same for Hong Kong as well. Samsung’s changelogs often don’t tell the full story, anyways. The June update for the Galaxy A33 5G should soon reach other markets, including Latin America, Africa, and the rest of Asia. Samsung didn’t launch this mid-range phone in the US.
It’s a similar story for the Galaxy M33 5G as well. This phone is getting the same changelog in South Korea, where it’s called the Galaxy Jump 2. The June update comes with the build number M336KKSU5CWE1 in Samsung’s homeland. The same update in Latin America (currently only available in Panama) brings firmware version M336BXXU5CWF2. The Galaxy A03, meanwhile, is widely picking up the June SMR in Latin America. The new firmware build number for this budget handset is A035MUBS3CWF2. Unlike the Galaxy A33 5G, it doesn’t seem to be getting anything else.
The Galaxy M62 is also getting Samsung’s June update
The Galaxy M62 is another Samsung phone that recently started receiving the June update. Rolling out with the firmware build number M625FXXU4CWF1, the device is getting system stability improvements along with the latest security fixes. This mid-range phone wasn’t sold globally, so the company should soon cover all eligible units with the June SMR. As usual, you can check for OTA (over the air) updates manually from the Settings app. Go to the Software update menu and tap on Download and install.
