Samsung begins the November 2025 Security Update rollout with Galaxy A17 & A06
Samsung has just detailed the latest November 2025 security update a couple of days ago; meanwhile, the company is already starting to roll out the latest security patch for two Galaxy A series devices, which is now available in several countries.
It’s surprising that Samsung is initiating the November 2025 security update not from its flagship or mid-tier phones, but rather from two of its Galaxy A series devices: the Galaxy A17 and Galaxy A06. It’s said that the update is currently available in Asian countries, such as Thailand and Vietnam, for the former, while the update for the latter is spotted in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, the latest firmware for the Galaxy A17 5G is identified with the A176BXXS3BYJ1 version number. Noticeably, the Galaxy A06 is significantly getting the latest Android 16-based One UI 8 update alongside the November patch in countries like Saudi Arabia, and is recognized with the A066EXXU3BYJ4 version number.
Indeed, the One UI 8 update brought about a handful of interesting features for the Galaxy A06, like checking stock prices without unlocking via the Now Bar, while also adding upgrades for productivity, multitasking, security & privacy, and accessibility.
At the same time, the update further improved Quick Share, Samsung Internet, Reminder, Calendar, Samsung Health, communication, Modes and routines, and other relevant improvements.
Other than that, the November 2025 security update, however, doesn’t bring any major features and changes, but it significantly focuses on improving the device’s overall security, core functionality, and performance to provide a secure experience for the users, while also protecting the device against external threats.
