Samsung has already started preparing for the One UI 6.1 update internally, and before going to distribute it to the Galaxy devices, the company has decided to provide the February 2024 security patch update. This time, the company has provided the security patch update to several high-end devices, and now it has turned its focus to the midrange device as well as the Galaxy A53 devices.
According to the information, the Galaxy A53 has started getting the February 2024 security patch update in the US. More specifically, the carrier-locked variant of the device is getting a new update with firmware version number A536USQS9DXA9.
The February 2024 security update is one of the minor updates that only brings some general improvements that improve the overall security of the devices. With the latest update, there are 60+ security patches included, and from them, 61 security vulnerability issues are addressed by Google and 8 more fixes are done by Samsung for its Galaxy devices.
The main aim of providing a new security patch is to make the security mechanism more protected. Basically, with the new security update, the device will get ready to address different types of malware.
The Galaxy A53 was launched back in 2022. The device was launched with Android 12 preinstalled, and later it grabbed two more major updates in the form of Android 13 and Android 14 sequentially. As Samsung has promised to give at least four major updates for the Galaxy A53 devices, the device is still eligible for two more major updates, which will be available in the next couple of years.
