Samsung began sending out the April 2021 security patch to eligible devices before the beginning of the month. It’s now gradually releasing the patch for more smartphones. Earlier this month, the company released the security level to Galaxy A52. The latest Samsung flagship to receive the current security maintenance release is Galaxy A52 5G.
The latest build for the 5G variant of Galaxy A52 can be identified from the firmware version A526BXXS1AUD1. The update resolves 21 exposures and vulnerabilities ranging from various potential attack vectors, encryption algorithm oversights, and unexpected behaviors from specific execution policies being misconfigured. Moreover, it also includes fixes for 30 vulnerabilities that Google tag as severe or critical.
The software is hitting the Galaxy A52 5G units in Brazil, Chile, and Colombia. It is expected to expand further to other regions in a couple of weeks.
If you are a user in any of these countries, the OTA update will shortly hit your device. Or as always, you can give it a manual check by heading to device Settings -> Software update, if the firmware pops up, tap on Download and install.
The Galaxy A52 5G was launched last month alongside the Galaxy A72 and A52 4G. The phone packs Android 11-based One UI 3.1 out of the box accompanied by Snapdragon 750G 5G. It features a 6.5 inch super AMOLED panel paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The front side is housed by a 32MP primary camera while the rear is equiped with 64MP main, 12MP ultrawide and two 5MP sensors to measure macro and depth aspects.
