Thanks to the rollout of One UI 7 and Android 15 being mostly complete at this point and reaching devices as old as the Galaxy S21 series, Samsung is now on to sending out a fresh wave of monthly security updates to its phones. This period won’t last long, though, as Android 16 and One UI 8 are just around the corner. Still, we need updates and Samsung has them, starting with the May Android update.
The first batch of devices seeing this minor May update is the Galaxy S25 series, which I tend to think makes sense knowing how new they are. Not that Samsung always updates its newest phones first, but it would certainly be OK if they did.
SAMSUNG MAY UPDATE: Below are the build numbers for all of the Samsung devices that have currently received the May Android update.
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: S938USQS3AYDF
- Galaxy S25+: S936USQS3AYDF
- Galaxy S25: S931USQS3AYDF
SAMSUNG MAY UPDATE CHANGES: This update is expectedly minor, with Verizon only describing it as follows – “The current software update provides the most up to date Android security patches for your device.”
If we find any other changes, we’ll be sure to add them here.
UPDATE MAY 20 (GALAXY S24 SERIES): Samsung is now pushing the May update through to the Galaxy S24 series. Like with the S25, these updates are minor with One UI 7 still so fresh. We’re looking at only security patches, with some bug fixes likely tossed in for good measure as well.
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: S928USQS4BYE4
- Galaxy S24+: S926USQS4BYE4
- Galaxy S24: S921USQS4BYE4
UPDATE MAY 21 (GALAXY Z FOLD 5, Z FLIP 5): Samsung’s Fold 5 and Flip 5 are up next, and the same story applies – these are just security updates.
- Galaxy Z Fold 5: F946USQS6EYE2
- Galaxy Z Flip 5: F731USQS6EYE2
UPDATE MAY 22 (GALAXY Z FOLD 6, FLIP 6): And now the newest foldables are up! Same story just security.
- Galaxy Z Fold 6: F956USQS2BYE2
- Galaxy Z Flip 6: F741USQS2BYE2
We’ll update again as more devices receive May’s update.
To check for updates on most Samsung phones, you’ll open Settings>Software update>Download and Install.
