Note that all dates are approximate and subject to change; posted dates reflect when the update is released but can take a few weeks to roll out to all devices. Telus usually approves within a week after a month of testing from the original release of software/firmware, but sometimes it could take from 4 weeks to 6 months.
Telus Communication provides the software update to the users; unlike the unlocked smartphones, the carrier-locked smartphones get the software update after 3 step process: Manufacturer testing, Internal Network Testing, and Regulatory approval.
The device manufacturer performs testing on new os or software; new software is provided to Telus. It conducts internal testing of oS/software against their carrier network for compatibility. When device manufacturers and carrier operators agree on a new os/software for its stability, it’s submitted to the Canadian regulatory board. After meeting Canadian regulatory and fcc requirements, it’s then approved for a device manufacturer to release the update.
Telus Communications Inc. (TCI) is the wholly-owned principal subsidiary of Telus Corporation. This Canadian national telecommunications company provides a wide range of telecommunications products and services, including internet access, voice, entertainment, healthcare, video, and IPTV television.
In the past, we have already seen other updates for different regions; nothing major came out apart from the security patches and minor tweaking of stock apps and UI; we should expect the same for this region.
Samsung is rapidly rolling out the One UI 6.1 update for eligible Galaxy devices; however, due to some complications, it has taken time to optimize the update for the different devices. Earlier, the company introduced the update to all the flagship devices, and with the next phase, it started expanding the update to other devices, like the Galaxy A33.
Galaxy A33 Firmware Details
Samsung Galaxy A33 smartphones are spotted getting the One UI 6.1 update in Singapore with the firmware version number A336EDXU8EXDD. It is expected to expand to more Asian markets. With the latest update, there are several new features and changes arriving for the devices; therefore, it is coming in a massive software package. It is using the same security patch as April 2024.
As Samsung has limited some innovative features related to the Galaxy AI feature to some flagship devices, the Galaxy A33 will not get any of the AI features with the update, but still, with the One UI 6.1 update, users will get some significant updates that will surely elevate the overall experience. For instance, the latest update for the Galaxy A33 will provide you with a set of new customization features and also get some enhancements for the security and privacy of the devices.
