Alongside expanding the One UI 7.0 beta program, Samsung is rolling out the latest security patch to more Galaxy devices. It has already updated over 15 models to this month’s SMR (Security Maintenance Release). A couple more joined the party recently. The March update is available for the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy A54.
Galaxy S23 FE and A54 grab Samsung’s March security update
Earlier today, Samsung rolled out the March security update to the Galaxy Z Fold SE, Fold 3, and Flip 3. It followed up with One UI 7.0 beta updates for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Tab S10 series, the first beta build for both lineups. Now, the company is rolling out the latest security patch for more eligible models.
The Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy A54 are currently receiving the March SMR in Samsung’s home country, South Korea (the A54 is known as Quantum 4 in Korea). The new firmware build numbers for the phones are S711NKSS5BYB3 and A546SKSS8CYB6, respectively. The update brings nothing more than this month’s security fixes.
Samsung has already detailed the March SMR for the Galaxy family. It includes over 50 vulnerability patches, which is a combined total of all Android OS and Galaxy fixes for Samsung’s entire Android ecosystem, including foldables and tablets. At least 11 Android OS flaws patched this month are critical vulnerabilities. The majority of the remaining security patches in March SMR are high-severity fixes.
The Korean firm will gradually roll out these security fixes to more devices. It will also soon expand One UI 7.0 beta to the Galaxy A55, and potentially release Beta 5 for the Galaxy S24 series. The stable One UI 7.0 update will arrive in April. Galaxy users can always check for new updates manually through the Settings app. Go to the Software update menu and tap on Download and install to check.
