Galaxy A55 & A35

Samsung has recently introduced a new software update for multiple devices; however, initially it was spotted on the high-end devices belonging to the Galaxy S series and Galaxy Z series. Now,  with the latest development, the company has started rolling out the update to several Galaxy A series devices.

According to the information, Samsung has made a significant software update live for the Galaxy A55Galaxy A35Galaxy A54Galaxy A34, Galaxy A25Galaxy A15 5G, and A15 4G. It is worth noting that the update has been detected in the European region and is expected to be limited to that only.

According to the latest update, the device will now support the 4G TDD band. However, Samsung has not provided any details about how this feature will benefit Galaxy device users. Based on my observations, it appears that the update will enhance stability and speed on the 4G network.

Here’s the build Numbers:

  • Galaxy A55 5G – A556BXXU1AXC4
  • Galaxy A35 5G – A356BXXU1AXBB

  • Galaxy A15 5G – A156BXXU1AXC4

The company has stated that devices purchased in Germany and used in other countries, such as Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, will not function in the 4G TDD band.
