February 25
Samsung is rolling out the February 2025 update for Galaxy A55 smartphone users. The firmware has already reached some Galaxy A series devices. The update is rolling out in some European countries and the company will make it available in more countries soon.
This new update improves the security and stability of your handset, giving you a better experience. It also brings a set of new fixes that target exploits hidden in the device.
Meanwhile, the patch resolves issues that cause app crashes, lagging, overheating, and even data leaks. This closes the loophole that could let malware enter your phone and ruin the overall experience by damaging the stability of the core system.
As per the official details, Samsung has fixed 34 high and 1 critical level of CVE. It further targets 7 SVE flaws. These mainly address issues related to Samsung’s Sound Picker, Samsung Messages, Notification Manager, and Bootloader.
Apart from the updated security patch, the update does not bring any major changes to the device. But it is quite important for your device. Hence, we suggest installing the update as soon as it appears on the notification panel.
The February 2025 security update for the Samsung Galaxy A55 smartphone comes with One UI build version A556BXXS6AYB2. The installation package size of this update can be around 300MB. You can install it via Settings >> Software update >> Download and install.
Samsung is preparing the next Galaxy A lineup. It is expected to be the most effective camera smartphone series with even better imaging features than its predecessors. On the flip side, the device may bring new techs and AI capabilities.
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.

The July 2025 security patch from Samsung addresses 1 critical and 21 high levels of CVEs for the Android operating system. However, one CVE was resolved by previous updates from the company, and 1 is not relevant to Galaxy devices.
In addition to the Google patch, Samsung provides 9 SVE items to improve the user experience.

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.
