January 2025 security update lands on Galaxy S23 series

As of now, the company is bringing the January 2025 security update for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra devices. Users can identify the firmware with One UI version S911BXXS7CXL2, S916BXXS7CXL2, and S918BXXS7CXL2, respectively. Besides, you need to download a firmware package of 381 Megabytes. We advise using a standard Wi-Fi connection and adequate battery level to download the firmware.

According to the information, this update fixes various levels of exploits and issues present in the device system. Apart from this, it also addresses the vulnerabilities found in the previous software upgrade and ensures better security for your important data and inputs.

Apart from the security patch, users may find hidden optimizations for the major aspects of the device like SoundPicker, Samsung Message, NotificationManager, Protection Mechanism Failure in the bootloader, and performance efficiency. However, the update doesn’t mention any such specifics for the moment.

You can manually download the firmware by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install. The whole process can take time though, so keep calm and have a great day!

One UI 7 for Galaxy S23 series – When?

The ultimate device is spinning around the One UI 7 upgrade confusion. Users are constantly eyeing the major upgrade for their Galaxy S23 handsets. Yet, Samsung has not mentioned any specifics on this matter so far. 

Even though the Galaxy S23 series stands as a top lineup, it does not join the beta program. We have entered January 2025 and probably this month, the company might unveil new insights about the One UI 7 rollout and mark confirmation on this matter at Galaxy Unpacked 2025.
