Samsung kicks off May 2023 security update to Galaxy S21 series
Samsung is preparing to unveil its next-generation foldable smartphones. It’s expected that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 will release in the fourth week of July. The company will introduce the One UI 5.1.1 software version with these new phones, based on Android 13 OS.
Simultaneously, Samsung appears to be working on Android 14-based One UI 6.0 Beta. Recently, test firmware was spotted on the company’s server, which included a new “One UI Update.” As the One UI 5.1.1 will arrive ahead of One UI 6, non-foldable phones may not get it with software update.

Since the One UI 6.0 will be a major upgrade for Galaxy devices, Samsung won’t begin deployment in a hurry. Instead, the company should take enough time in development, testing, and fixing bugs so end-users will receive the most stable build internationally.
Meanwhile, Samsung is also rolling out the May 2023 security patches to several Galaxy smartphones and tablets. So far, the company released the new OTA for Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4 and select mid-range/budget devices.
