Galaxy S26’s May 2026 update is now rolling out in more markets

Earlier this month, Samsung released the One UI 9 beta program for the Galaxy S26 lineup in the US, the UK, Germany, and South Korea. The update arrived with the May security patch. However, users on One UI 8.5 didn’t get a new security release. Samsung finally dropped the latest patch in Europe yesterday and has now started a global rollout.

Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra users in India can download the May security patch, which carries firmware version AZE2. It’s the same build released in Europe earlier. The update weighs 563MB for the Ultra model, though the size and build version may vary by model and market.

The official changelog, as well as the firmware build, confirms that this update is all about the latest security fixes. According to Samsung’s official security bulletin, the May 2026 patch fixes a total of 39 security vulnerabilities. That includes patches related to the core Android operating system and Samsung-exclusive issues affecting One UI and Galaxy software components.

Samsung will gradually roll out the May 2026 update for the Galaxy S26 series in more markets. As usual, users can manually check for the update by heading to: Settings > Software update > Download and install. Samsung has also confirmed plans to expand the One UI 9 beta program for the new flagships to India and Poland later this month. We will let you know when the update arrives.
