March 2023 update rolling out to Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S20
After the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S22, Samsung is now updating the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S20 series to the March 2023 Android security patch. The latest security update patches more than 60 vulnerabilities in Galaxy devices. It will reach more models in the coming days.
The March security release for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra is currently rolling out in Europe. To be precise, the update is only available to users in Switzerland at the time of this writing.
But it should just be a matter of time before Samsung expands the rollout to other markets, including the US. The new firmware build number for the 2021 Galaxy flagships is G99*BXXS6EWBB. Users in other markets may get the update with a slightly different firmware version but the content will remain the same.
The latest security update for the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra is also initially limited to Europe (via). The rollout has begun in Germany and Switzerland with firmware versions G98*FXXSFHWB1 for the 4G models and G98*BXXSFHWB1 for the 5G models.
As usual, Samsung should cover the phones with the March SMR (Security Maintenance Release) in other markets within the next few days. We will let you know when the rollout reaches the US, where only 5G models are available.
Unlike the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S22, which seem to be getting some bug fixes along with the March SMR, the latest update for the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S20 only brings this month’s vulnerability patches. Samsung has already revealed that the new release patches more than 60 vulnerabilities. These include a handful of critical fixes that could lead to remote code execution.
23 of the 60-odd patches this month are Galaxy-specific. Samsung has patched flaws in Settings, Galaxy Themes Service, Samsung Keyboard, Exynos baseband, and more device components.
The Galaxy S20 series has already received its last feature update
The March security update for these Galaxy devices comes right on the heels of the One UI 5.1 update (Galaxy S23 shipped with One UI 5.1 out of the box). Sadly, for Galaxy S20 users, that’s the last major feature update for their phone.
The 2020 Samsung flagships debuted with Android 10 and picked up updates until Android 13. They will not get any more Android OS updates. It’s only security patches going forward. The Galaxy S21 will get Android 14 while the Galaxy S22 will get Android 15 too. The Galaxy S23 series will get updates until Android 17.
