Galaxy A35 picks February 2025 update as users’ eyes for next the major One UI 7 upgrade
Samsung Galaxy A35 users are receiving a new software update with the new security patch released in February 2025 for a better and safer user experience. Such updates are really important for Galaxy devices and we recommend all users to install it as soon as possible.
The changelog states that the February 2025 update for Samsung Galaxy A35 comes with One UI version A356BXXS4AYB1 and has a downloadable package size of 291.95 megabytes.
The update is currently rolling out in Europe and the company will expand it soon to more countries. As usual, the company is rolling out this update in batches and it may take some time to reach all models.
Apart from the device running on One UI 6.1, the company is also testing One UI 7 under the beta activity. The Galaxy S24 series is one of the first and only smartphones to receive the One UI 7 beta in Europe and other parts of the world.
Recently, Samsung has been rolling out the February 2025 update for the Galaxy S25 series smartphones in the European market. The latest software release comes amid the company preparing to release the stable One UI 7 for the phones.
To check the latest software update, you need to navigate to system settings. Then tap on the Software updates section and click on Download and Install. The phone will report back with a software build, if available, then hit the Download button.
Samsung February 2025 security update
According to SMR, the February 2025 security patch addresses 1 critical vulnerability and 34 high-risk CVEs within the Android OS and two of these vulnerabilities are irrelevant to Galaxy devices.
In addition to regular security fixes, Samsung has introduced 7 SVE items that aim to improve overall device functionality, including specific issues such as the Samsung Find app and Android application component settings.
Samsung recently shared its revised software update plan for July 2025. Through this updated plan, Samsung has confirmed that three Galaxy devices, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G are no longer eligible for software updates.
Now, Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G have been removed from the Biannual plan in July 2025. It means that Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G devices will no longer receive software updates as they have completed their update cycle.
The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G were released in 2021. Since then, these three Galaxy devices have received three major Android updates, along with regular security patches. Now, after several years of support, Samsung is officially ending updates for these Galaxy devices.
So, what does this mean for these phone and tablet users? First, don’t worry, because your tablet will still work. Even though the Korean tech giant will no longer send out new Android versions or monthly security updates, your device will still receive Google Play system updates. These updates help keep your Galaxy device secure and let you continue using important apps like banking, social media, and video streaming.
If you want the newest features and latest Android updates, you might want to upgrade to a newer Galaxy phone and tablet. You can check tablets from the Galaxy Tab A10 series, the Tab S9 series, or the Galaxy A56 5G. These new Galaxy devices offer better performance, new features, and longer support.
However, if your current devices are working well and you’re happy with them, there’s no need to upgrade right away. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G can still handle basic tasks like browsing the web, watching videos, or using social media.
Samsung has announced the July 2025 security patch for its Galaxy devices on the first Monday of the month. However, Samsung fans are still waiting for the latest security update apart from the One UI 8 stable update.

Samsung has started testing Android 16-based One UI 8 on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. This big result shows that the Korean tech giant is considering the 2023 foldable, which could also be included in the Open Beta program this year.
After Galaxy S and A series devices, Samsung’s Android 16 optimization for Galaxy devices is in full swing, with foldable models not being added to the testing zone.
A reliable tipster, @Tarunvats has spotted a new One UI 8 build for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 on the testing platform. The testing build, F946BXXU5FYG2, hints that Samsung is actively working on One UI 8 for the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Notably, last month, a carrier-locked variant (SM-F946U) of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 for the US was spotted on Geekbench running Samsung’s Android 16-based One UI 8.0.
The One UI 8 update will bring meaningful changes to the UI. The company is also working on redesigning apps and core functionality to further improve the appearance and foundation laid by the Android 15-based One UI 7 update.
