Samsung has started distributing a software update for the Galaxy S23 series, which includes the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. This update introduces the October 2024 security patch, which addresses more than 30 security vulnerabilities found in both the Android operating system and Samsung’s One UI. By implementing these security fixes, Samsung enhances device safety and performance for its users.
Initially, the United States is the first market to receive the October 2024 update, currently available for certain carrier-locked models. The rollout is expected to extend to all carrier variants and unlocked devices within the next few days. This initiative highlights Samsung’s commitment to delivering timely software updates, ensuring the security of its devices for users.
Other regions around the world are also likely to receive the update for the Galaxy S23 series before the end of the month. Moreover, a similar update is anticipated for the Galaxy S23 FE (Fan Edition) model soon. This comprehensive update approach reflects Samsung’s dedication to consistent software support across its entire device lineup.
Users can recognize the update by its build number, S91xUSQS4CXI4, and can easily download it from their phone by accessing the Settings menu and selecting Software Update followed by Download and Install. For those who prefer upgrading through a computer, the latest firmware is available in the SamMobile database, enabling installation via a Windows PC and a USB-C cable. It’s important to note that this particular update focuses exclusively on security enhancements, without introducing any new features.
