Flagship smartphones including the Galaxy S23, S22, S21, S20, and Note 20 series have also got updated to the March 2023 OTA. In addition, the firmware is also released for a list of Galaxy A and M series devices.
As described by Samsung, the March patch fixes 5 critical and 35 high-level Android flaws by Google. Besides, Samsung made it more important with the inclusion of 23 One UI patches (SVEs) for Galaxy devices.
Earlier, Google’s Project Zero team discovered 18 exposures in Samsung Exynos models, of which 14 are not so critical. However, it’s reported that one of the remaining four severe CVEs may let hackers steal your data with just a phone number.
Google fixed the Exynos modem-related vulnerabilities with its March 2023 Android patch. However, it remains a mystery whether Samsung’s patch included patches for those issues or not, as there’s no mention of those CVEs in the One UI security support patch.
One UI 5.1 update rollout has almost been completed for flagship devices, while budget phones are gradually getting upgraded to the new version. This new iteration comes with plenty of new and useful features that take your smartphone to the next level.
If you’ve received the One UI 5.1 update, the March patch becomes a big deal for your smartphone. Usually, developers include important optimization with new firmware updates over a new operating system or software system upgrade.

According to the info, Samsung Korean community moderator revealed that the Galaxy S23 series won’t get any camera focussed update, separately, however, the April 2023 software will include content (such as bug fixes and optimization) for the camera.
It’s worth mentioning that the team is ready to begin the rollout after putting the final finishing touches. However, the moderator denied revealing the exact release date of the Galaxy S23’s April software update. We assume the rollout may start in the next week.
Apart from this, the moderator disclosed that the company will share details of camera-related content included in the S23 series’ April 2023 firmware. As soon as the update starts rolling out to the public, the development in charge will share what new fixes are applied to the camera.
It was reported that some Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus units that have been manufactured in Vietnam have issues in focusing on nearby subjects such as pages of books. The company will hopefully solve the severe focusing error with the April 2023 update.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra is the first Samsung smartphone, which brings a 200-megapixel camera sensor to offer lossless photography. The other two siblings have the same camera sensors as their predecessors, but the company has enhanced their photography abilities with software and processor.
Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22
Recently, we’ve reported that the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 series will get the Galaxy S23’s intelligent Image Clipper feature in April 2023. Accordingly, it looks like April is going to be an important month for both Samsung and Galaxy consumers, when it comes to software deployment.
