After the US, Samsung‘s Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy A53 are receiving the March update in international markets. The new security patch is also available for the Galaxy A33, which wasn’t released in the US. The updates should reach all users worldwide over the next few weeks.
Galaxy S22, A53, and A33 get March update globally
Every month, Samsung pushes new software updates to dozens of Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The company updates more devices than any other phone manufacturer and still does it faster than almost all of them. It has already updated around 30 Galaxy models this month, pushing the March 2024 security patch.
The Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy A53 recently picked up the latest SMR (Security Maintenance Release) in the US. The company wasted no time in bringing the update to other regions. This month’s security fixes are now rolling out to the 2022 flagship trio in Europe with the firmware build number S901BXXS7DXBD. The Galaxy A53 is getting the update in Latin America with firmware version A536EXXS8DXB5.
Additionally, the March SMR is available for the Galaxy A33 in South Korea with the build number A336NKSS6DXC1. A wide rollout should begin soon. None of these devices are getting anything more than this month’s security fixes. Samsung has included 37 Android OS patches and 9 Galaxy patches to the latest SMR. These include at least two critical patches and dozens of high-severity vulnerability fixes across the Galaxy family.
If you are using any of these Galaxy smartphones, watch out for an update in the coming days. It will not add new features or improvements to your device but will make it more secure. You should get a notification once the update is here. Tap on it to download and install the update. Alternatively, you can go to the Software update menu in the settings app to check for updates manually on your Galaxy device.
These devices will get the One UI 6.1 update
The Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy A53, and Galaxy A33 all run on Android 14-based One UI 6.0. Samsung plans to update them to One UI 6.1 in the coming months. Introduced with the Galaxy S24 series, the updated version brings some UI tweaks and new features. The Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A33 may not get the AI features found in the new flagships, but a few of them may make it into the Galaxy S22. Samsung will begin the One UI 6.1 rollout later this month.
