Samsung continues to expand its April 2024 security update to more Galaxy devices. It recently released the new security patch for the Galaxy Tab S7 series, Galaxy A32, Galaxy A23, Galaxy A12 Nacho, and Galaxy M54. The company has already updated all eligible flagship models globally.
April update rolling out to the Galaxy Tab S7 series
Launched in August 2020, the Galaxy Tab S7 series is in its final year of official software support. The aging flagship tablets have already stopped getting feature updates (didn’t get Android 14 or One UI 6.0) but security patches are still coming once in a while. Samsung is now rolling out the latest SMR (Security Maintenance Release) to the devices.
The April update for the Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ is rolling out in Europe and Latin America, SamMobile reports. The firmware build number for the tablets ends with DXD1. Samsung should soon expand the rollout to other markets. The update brings over 40 security fixes part of the latest SMR. There aren’t any other changes.
The same security fixes are also rolling out to the Galaxy A32 (4G). The update is currently available in the Caribbean region with the build number A325MUBS7DXD1. This phone is also no longer eligible for feature updates (received Android 12 and Android 13), so the update is all about the latest SMR. Its 5G version has yet to pick up the April patch.
As far as the Galaxy A23 is concerned, both 4G and 5G versions are picking up the April SMR. The rollout for the former has begun in Samsung’s homeland South Korea. Users are getting the update with the firmware version A235NKSS4DXD1. For the 5G model, the update is available in Europe with the build number A236BXXU5DXD6.
The Galaxy A23 is eligible for the One UI 6.1 update. However, the latest release doesn’t seem to bring it, though the build version suggests the update isn’t all about the April security patch. Maybe there are some additional bug fixes in tow. The device should receive One UI 6.1 in a month or two. Don’t expect to get the new AI features from the Galaxy S24 series, though.
Galaxy A12 Nacho and M54 are also getting these security fixes
Samsung is also updating the Galaxy A12 Nacho and Galaxy M54 to the April security patch. The former is picking up the new SMR in Asia with firmware version A127FXXSBDXD2. The latter is getting it in Latin America with the build number M546BXXS4BXD1. The Galaxy M54 may receive One UI 6.1 but the Galaxy A12 Nacho is done getting feature updates.
