Samsung releases new updates: 1st January patch, Android 13 and more

Published

on

Galaxy Note 10

Samsung reaffirms itself as a good example in the Android world regarding software updates – we told you about it in the dedicated content – and, while a competitor has decided to take a cue, the South Korean manufacturer Google has started 2023 exactly as it ended 2022: releasing new software updates – including major updates and security patches – and outdoing even Google with releasing new monthly security patches.

Samsung Galaxy A03, F12, Galaxy Note 10, A70, M33 5G: Update news

This collection of software updates for Android smartphones is set solely on Samsung, but also contains certain types of content, both for generations and price ranges, and for innovations included in the updates being delivered.

The Samsung Galaxy A03 and the Samsung Galaxy F12 are not exactly the top models of the South Korean manufacturer, nor are they the most famous, so the fact that the two exponents of the low-cost range are updating to Android 13 in these hours only once Demonstrates again the goodness of software support offered by the brand in question. Going into the details of the update, the Samsung Galaxy A03 is being updated to firmware version A035FXXU2CVL4 from Serbia, which includes Android 13 and One UI 5.0 in the core version (hence lighter than the one present on the more expensive model); There is no dearth of new security patches either. The Samsung Galaxy F12, on the other hand, is getting updated in India (the only market where it is present) to firmware version F127GXXU3CVL4 with Android 13, One UI 5.0, and November 2022 security patch.

Keeping aside the two major updates from this collection, let’s talk about another record from the Korean house: the former Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ flagships are the first Android smartphones to be updated to the January 2023 security patch. Distribution of the new Udepat started in Switzerland and will soon spread to other European countries. Unfortunately, as is often the case, the roll out began so quickly that Samsung has not yet detailed the fixes contained in this new SMR (Security Maintenance Release); In any case, keep following us, as we will bring you the most important information as soon as the update is presented.

Staying on the subject of monthly security patches, we now have to rewind the tape a few months: the cheaper Samsung Galaxy M33 5G (which you can find our review at this link) is getting the November 2022 SMR, rolling out to India with firmware version M336BUXXU3BVL6 in the US and with version M336BXXU3BVL4 in other countries (Indonesia, Holland, Malaysia, Philippines, Russia, Thailand, and Vietnam).

The latest update to know is as the recipient of the old mid-range Samsung Galaxy A70: this model, no longer the first child, is officially included in the list of recipients of the six-monthly update, although Samsung – after has already delivered two updates expected for 2022 – giving Galaxy A70 owners a third. Distribution stopped last December 30 and firmware version A705USQS2DVK1 is available for models locked with Comcast in the United States. The new update includes the December 2022 security patch.

How to update Samsung smartphone

If you’ve gotten to this point, chances are you own one of the Samsung Galaxy A03, Samsung Galaxy F12, Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Samsung Galaxy A70, and Samsung Galaxy M33 5G, and you’re wondering how to get it. When will I get the phone? A new update is described. Well, given that not all updates have been rolled out in Europe – as mentioned in the previous paragraph – you can check for availability via the usual path “Settings> Software update> Download and install”.

Samsung DIY repairing

Samsung is making it easier for users to fix their devices by expanding its DIY repair program. In a recent announcement, Samsung shared that over a dozen new devices will be included in the Self-Repair program. Among them are the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, marking the introduction of DIY repair options for Samsung’s foldable phones.

The Self-Repair program will provide users with access to parts and guides for fixing their devices at home. Samsung [Samsung Newsroom Post] is taking a step towards empowering users to take control of their device maintenance, offering support for popular devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in this latest expansion.

Until now, Samsung mainly provided DIY repair options for its regular smartphones, tablets, and laptops. However, when it came to the more intricate foldable models like the Galaxy Fold and Flip, the company limited users to professional repair services due to the complexity of these devices.

Now, in a noteworthy move, Samsung is expanding its DIY repair support to include its foldable models, starting with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. This means users will soon have the option to tackle repairs at home, marking a shift in Samsung’s approach to empower users in maintaining and fixing their foldable devices.

This development follows Google’s recent introduction of DIY repair options for its Pixel Fold, though it’s worth noting that repair parts for the Pixel Fold can be relatively expensive, such as the inner screen alone costing $900. As Samsung joins the DIY repair trend for foldables, it’ll be interesting to see how this impacts the accessibility and affordability of maintaining these innovative devices.

The full list of new Self-Repair options for Galaxy devices includes:

  • Galaxy Z Fold 5
  • Galaxy Z Flip 5
  • Galaxy S23
  • Galaxy S23+
  • Galaxy S23 Ultra
  • Galaxy S23 FE
  • Galaxy A05s
  • Galaxy Tab S9
  • Galaxy Tab S9+
  • Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
  • Galaxy Tab S9 FE
  • Galaxy Tab S9+ FE
  • Galaxy Tab A9
  • Galaxy Tab A9+
  • Galaxy Book 2 Pro (15-inch)
  • Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 (15-inch)

Samsung is making its Self-Repair program available to more people around the world. The program is spreading to South Korea and over 30 European countries, including places like Denmark, Greece, Hungary, and Portugal. However, it’s important to note that, as of now, these new devices are not yet supported in the United States, and parts are not available from Samsung’s retail partner, iFixit.

HarmonyOS Next

Huawei’s big boss just hinted at exciting new things for their software in 2024! Expect fresh products built on their latest HarmonyOS NEXT system.

During the Fan Club (Pollen) Annual Conference 2023, Yu Chengdong announced that Huawei plans to reveal several advanced products next year. He also predicted the launch of HarmonyOS NEXT products and improved native application experiences in 2024.

The CEO didn’t share when exactly the new software and native applications would be released, but we can anticipate the official reveal to happen in early 2024.

Huawei needs to make HarmonyOS fully independent and essential without relying on Android libraries soon. Hopefully, the company will speed up its efforts in the coming days.

Many app developers, such as Alipay, McDonald’s, HiPaint, Bank of Communications, and others, have joined native app development for HarmonyOS. The goal is to create a strong app ecosystem independent of Android and iOS.

Huawei is set to offer HarmonyOS-based courses, with approval for 55 projects and over 10 universities planning to launch these courses soon.

Huawei plans to introduce apps in more than 18 categories, focusing on digital and financial sectors. According to Yu Chengdong, these native HarmonyOS applications aim to be smoother, smarter, safer, and more comprehensive compared to iOS and Android.
