Samsung is rolling out the June 2023 security update to a bunch of Galaxy M series smartphones. The Galaxy M02, Galaxy M12, Galaxy M32, and Galaxy M40 are all getting this latest security patch, SamMobile confirms. The rollout is scattered across various markets, but all eligible units should get the new SMR (Security Maintenance Release) soon. It patches more than 60 vulnerabilities, including at least three critical Android OS flaws.
For starters, the Galaxy M02 is picking up the June update in Panama, the only Latin American country where it was sold. The model number for the phone in the region is SM-M022M, and it’s getting the new SMR with firmware version M022MUBS3BWF6. Samsung also sold this budget phone in a bunch of Asian countries, with the model number SM-M022F or SM-M022G. It’s unclear if it will update those units to the June security patch or skip this month’s release for them.
The Galaxy M12, meanwhile, is getting the June SMR globally. Depending on your unit’s model number and region, the updated firmware version is M127FXXU5DWE1, M127GXXU5DWF2, or M127NKOU5DWF1. Users in South Korea are getting One UI 5.1 with the June update. The latest One UI version has already been rolled out to the phone in other markets. Those regions are getting some system optimizations, though.
The June update is also widely available for the Galaxy M32. Users in India are getting the latest security patch with the firmware build number M325FXXU7DWF3. For the rest of the world, where Samsung sold the Galaxy M32, it’s M325FVXXU7DWE3. This mid-range phone from 2021 is getting system stability and reliability improvements along with the latest security fixes.
The Galaxy M40 is also getting Samsung’s June update widely
The Galaxy M40 is another Samsung phone that recently started picking up the June security update. Launched in June 2019, this was only sold in India and a few neighboring countries. Perhaps that explains the absence of a succeeding model. But the few users of the Galaxy M40 are now getting the latest security patch. It comes with the firmware build number M405FDDS2CWF3 and doesn’t bring anything else.
If you’re using any of these Galaxy smartphones, watch out for an update in the coming days if you haven’t already installed it. As said earlier, the June SMR patches more than 60 security issues across the Galaxy family. Your phone may be vulnerable to a handful of those. Install the update as soon as possible. You can navigate to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check for updates manually.
