Samsung is very busy these days and working on multiple things right now, such as One UI 6 testing, which is almost coming to the final stage, but the stable update is stuck because the company is waiting for Google to officially release Android 14. But in the case of a security patch, there is no binding on Samsung; it freely releases the security-related update to its Galaxy devices.
