While Samsung is internally testing the latest Android 16-based One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S23 series on the test servers, the company is delivering the August 2025 security update for the 2023 flagships simultaneously.
Well, Samsung is looking forward to expanding the August update, as the Galaxy S23 series has already received the update in Europe, and now, the smartphones have been spotted getting the update in Canada, while the remaining eligible countries are expected to join shortly.
At the same time, the latest firmware for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra models have been identified with their dedicated version numbers, S911WVLS6DYH1, S916WVLS6DYH1, and S918WVLS6DYH1, respectively.
However, being a normal security patch, the update doesn’t bring any major features and changes; rather, it significantly focuses on improving the device’s overall security and core functionality. It certainly packs a host of bug fixes for all the security-related issues that were addressed in the previous version in order to provide a more secure user experience, while also protecting the device against potential threats.
At the same time, the update further adds stability to the entire system behavior and brings certain performance optimizations that will significantly lead to a more secure, stable, and optimized functionality for the users.
Nevertheless, Samsung is currently working on the latest Android 16-based One UI 8 version, while the Galaxy S25 series is inching closer to the stable release, and at the same time, others are internally testing the latest build. Since the official rollout is set for September, the sixth beta should be the last stage of beta testing for the Galaxy S25 family.
