Samsung is pushing the May 2023 Android security patch to a host of budget and mid-range devices. According to SamMobile, last month’s security update is now available for the Galaxy A33 5G, Galaxy A32, Galaxy A23, Galaxy A13, Galaxy A13 5G, Galaxy A12, Galaxy A12 Nacho, and Galaxy A04s in various parts of the world. Some of these devices have already received the May SMR (Security Maintenance Release) in a few markets.
The Galaxy A33 5G was one of the first non-flagship Samsung phones to get the May update. The company began the rollout in the first week of May for users in Latin America. The update came with the build number A336MUBS4CWD4. The rollout reached users in Thailand last week with the build number A336EDXS6CWE3. Last month’s security update for the Galaxy A33 5G isn’t available in any other markets.
Meanwhile, Samsung is pushing a second May update to the phone in Latin America. The latest firmware version is A336MUBU5CWE1. It’s unclear if this release contains a critical bug fix or anything else. The official changelog doesn’t give us any clue. The Korean behemoth may release this update widely in the coming weeks.
The May update for the Galaxy A32 contains added goodies, though. Rolling out in Samsung’s homeland South Korea, it brings improvements to the SOS feature, including location accuracy (see changelog). The updated build number in the region is A325NKSU3DWE3. Samsung may push this update in other regions soon. The May SMR isn’t yet available for the Galaxy A32 5G in any market.
The Galaxy A23 and Galaxy A23 5G, meanwhile, both received Samsung’s May 2023 update in a few markets early last month. The company is now expanding the release for the former to more regions. The update bears the build number A235MUBU3CWE2 in Latin America and A235NKSU2CWE4 in South Korea. The rollout for the 5G version hasn’t expanded outside of Europe.
Samsung’s May update is also available for the Galaxy A13, Galaxy A12, and more
Joining the aforementioned mid-range Galaxy devices in Samsung’s May 2023 update party are the Galaxy A13, Galaxy A13 5G, Galaxy A12, Galaxy A12 Nacho, and Galaxy A04s. All of these devices are getting the new SMR widely, though the company hasn’t released the patch for the US versions of these devices (not all of them were released in the US). The Galaxy A13 5G recently received One UI 5.1 stateside. If you’re using any of these phones, you can check for new updates from the Settings app.
