Samsung’s June 2025 patch is now hitting the Galaxy S23 series. South Korea remains Samsung’s favorite country to initiate a firmware update rollout. The new software comes with crucial security improvements for the devices.

Before the Galaxy S23 series, Samsung rolled out the June 2025 patch to the Galaxy S25 and S24 series. The latest security update is also available for select mid-range smartphones, with availability depending on region.

June 2025 SMR carries 36 Android CVE items and 19 SVE items for the S23 series. Among these 55 fixes, 36 are categorized as high-level security threats, while 19 are included by Samsung to ensure the best security on Galaxy devices.

One UI 7 experience is getting refined

Samsung is refining the One UI 7 experience on Galaxy devices with incremental firmware updates. June’s software would play a key role in elevating the overall performance and functional stability of the Galaxy S23 series.

One UI 7 added plenty of new features and smooth animations. The battery life has been slightly harmed by the update, but Samsung continues to address flaws that are either ruining the experience or harming the battery life.

Samsung’s also Beta testing One UI 8 on the Galaxy S25 series. The Android 16-based One UI skin will be revealed next month, with OTA rollout to older Galaxy devices is likely to start thereafter, around August this year.
