February 2025 security update for Samsung Galaxy A52 5G smartphone arrives with One UI build version A526USQSGGYA1. This update is available in the US for the carrier-locked variant of the phone.
The latest update for the Samsung Galaxy A52 smartphone is based on Android 14 and One UI 6.1. However, these phone users are not eligible for the One UI 15 feature based on Android 7.
It is worth noting that Samsung launched the Galaxy A52 5G in early 2021 with Android 11. The phone supported software upgrades for three generations and regular security updates for at least four years.
As always, the update is being rolled out gradually, so it may take a few hours or days to reach all models. Users are recommended to install the update immediately to take advantage of improved security measures.
If you are using the Galaxy A52 5G smartphone in the US, you can install the latest update to get a better experience. You can also check for the update by heading to the Settings of your phone and opening the Software Update section.
Now, tap on the Download and Install option. If an update is available, you can follow the on-screen instructions to install the update on your Galaxy smartphone.
Notably, the February 2025 update fixes over 40 vulnerabilities in Android and Samsung software. Google has patched 1 critical, and 34 high-level issues, and one CVE doesn’t apply to Galaxy devices. Samsung has also addressed 7 issues, including bugs related to the Samsung Find app and Android Application Component settings to ensure a more seamless and secure user experience.
Samsung, next year, is launching its new flagship S series smartphone, Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even though the phone hasn’t been officially announced yet, several details have already leaked online. Now, a report suggests that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G’s black color variant may offer a black frame instead of the silver one on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
As you know, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is available in several colors, and if you prefer black, you have two options to choose from: Jet Black and Titanium Black. However, the Titanium Black comes with a black panel and a silver frame. Jet Black offers a black panel and a black frame.
According to @UniverseIce, the black color variant of the Galaxy S26 Ultra 5G will have a black frame, and not the silver frame that the Titanium Black version of the Galaxy S25 Ultra has.
The phone is expected to launch with Android 16-based new One UI 8.5. Plus, the company is also promising seven years of Android updates, which is great for long-term use.
Samsung’s Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 smartphones are expected to launch in March 2026. Ahead of the launch, we’re getting a sneak peek at Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 performance with One UI 8.5 and Android 16.
Both the upcoming Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 smartphones recently appeared on Geekbench, giving us some interesting insights into how they will perform with the new Android 16 and One UI 8.5. Interestingly, builds of both smartphones are already in testing for the upcoming software.
As per the Geekbench listing, the Galaxy A57 has scored impressively high in the tests, with a single-core score of 1,311 and a multi-core score of 4,347. These digits suggest that the A57 will offer a smooth and fast experience.
Moreover, the Galaxy A37 still performs well. It scored 1158 in single-core and 3401 in multi-core tests, and the software build was A376BXXU0AYK3. While these scores are a bit lower than the A57, the Galaxy A37 smartphone is still good enough to promise a fast and smooth experience for everyday tasks.
The test results show that Samsung is working hard to make One UI 8.5 faster and more efficient. Both smartphones will come pre-installed with the Android 16 -based One UI 8.5 to offer amazing performance and the latest features. Stay tuned for more information.
Google and Samsung are yet to release Android 17 and One UI 9 Beta for Pixel and Galaxy devices. Meanwhile, Google is working on a Universal Clipboard for Android phones and PCs, with Android 17. This means Samsung’s One UI 9 could bring universal clipboard to Galaxy devices.
According to Android Authority, Android 17 includes a feature called UniversalClipboardManager. This tool appears inside Google’s continuity framework, which transfers copied content between Android devices without a third-party tool
Samsung’s current cross-device features, like Quick Share, Samsung Flow, and Phone Link, do not offer built-in clipboard syncing. Fortunately, that could change in next year’s One UI 9 update, as Google is working on a Universal Clipboard for Android phones and PCs.
If Samsung follows the One UI 8 schedule, One UI 9 is expected to arrive alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 in mid-2026. If Google implements Universal Clipboard in Android 17, Samsung will likely add it in One UI 9.
