Samsung is pushing the May 2023 Android security patch to several Galaxy devices today. The company has released the latest security update for the Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy A33 5G. The new SMR (Security Maintenance Release) has been previously rolled out to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Tab S8 series, and a few other models.
Samsung’s May update for the Galaxy Note 20 series is currently available in Latin America. More specifically, the new SMR is rolling out to users in Brazil. The company should soon expand the release to other countries in the region, and also cross boundaries to other parts of the world. The new firmware build number for the last Note-series phones is N98*BXXS6HWE2. The update seemingly doesn’t bring anything apart from the latest security fixes.
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is also initially receiving the May SMR in Latin America. The rollout is a little wider for the 2021 clamshell foldable. It is picking up the new update in Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Trinidad & Tobago, SamMobile confirms. This phone is getting the build number F711BXXS4EWD9 with the latest update. Once again, Samsung isn’t pushing anything apart from the new security patch.
The story remains the same for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 as well. The May update for this 2020 foldable is available in the same six Latin American countries as the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The updated firmware version for this phone is F916BXXS2JWE1. And you guessed it right, there aren’t any goodies to look forward to here either. The update brings the latest security patches but nothing else.
The May update for the Galaxy A52 5G and Galaxy A33 5G is also currently limited to Latin America. Samsung is pushing the latest SMR to the two mid-range models in select countries in the region. The new firmware versions for the phones are A526BXXS3EWD8 and A336MUBS4CWD4, respectively (via). A wider rollout should follow in the coming days. Don’t expect anything major, though. This update is all about security fixes.
The May update patches over 70 vulnerabilities in Galaxy devices
If you’re using any of these Samsung smartphones, the latest update for your phone brings fixes for more than 70 security issues. The May SMR patches around 20 Galaxy-specific flaws and over 50 Android OS vulnerabilities. At least six of those issues are labeled critical by Google and Samsung. If you don’t receive a notification for a new update anytime soon, you can manually check for it from the Software update menu in the Settings app.
