Aside from this, Samsung is also preparing for the June 2025 update for the Galaxy S25 series. Rumors suggest that this update will bring some exciting improvements, especially to the camera app.

Later this year, Samsung will release its first major update, One UI 8, based on Android 16, for the Galaxy S25. The One UI 8 Beta Program is expected to start in the third week of May 2025 or late June 2025.

Samsung has released a new update for the Galaxy Watch 5, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, and Galaxy Watch FE in Europe. The fresh update installs the March 2024 security patch to improve system security and stability.

The fresh update for the Bluetooth variants of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro comes with firmware version ending with CYCD. On the other hand, the update arrives on Galaxy Watch FE with firmware version ending with BYCD.

Along with the new security patch, the update also brings some improvements to the overall stability of the watches. Samsung hasn’t shared many details on exactly what’s improved, but it’s clear that the update is meant to make the watches work better and more securely.

At the moment, the update is available now for Bluetooth models of the Galaxy Watch 5, Watch 5 Pro, and Watch FE. However, if you have the LTE version of any of these watches, you’ll have to wait a little longer. Updates for the 4G models usually come a few weeks after the Bluetooth version gets its update.

To install the update, you’ll get a notification on your phone when it’s ready. You can also check manually by opening the Samsung Wearable app, going to “Watch settings,” and tapping on “Watch software updates.” Then, just tap “Download and install” to start the update.

Although the March 2025 patch might feel a bit old by mid-May, it’s still an important update for keeping your Galaxy Watch 5 series or Watch FE secure and working smoothly. So, make sure to update as soon as it’s available on your Galaxy Watch.
