The Galaxy S23 series runs Android 13-based One UI 5.1 out of the box, which started to roll out for older Galaxy devices. However, the Galaxy S23 users need to satisfy with a newer security patch dated February 2023.
Besides the February patch, the changelog mentions that some stock apps will be updated to newer versions post-firmware installation. Some apps that will be updated are AR Zone, Notes Add-ons, Clock, Health, Members, and Wallet.
Firmware Versions:
- Galaxy S23 – S911BXXU1AWBD
- S23 Plus – S916BXXU1AWBD
- S23 Ultra – S918BXXU1AWBD
Here’s why it’s a big deal
Since the changelog lacks information about changes, a tipster having eagle eyes revealed that the WBD firmware of the Galaxy S23 Ultra greatly improves the main camera and videography features.
More specifically, the update optimizes the stabilization function of the Galaxy S23 Ultra to deliver shake-free videos. For sure, the system apps getting updated to newer versions will also offer better performance to consumers.
