Galaxy A55 gets its first firmware update with a new security patch

Firmware

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Samsung's new Galaxy A55 is now getting its first firmware update. The phone ships with the February 2024 security patch, but now, Samsung is already releasing the March update for the new mid-range hero phone.

The update is rolling out in India, at the very least, and carries firmware version A556EXXS1AXC1. It weighs a little under 210MB. And judging by the firmware version, the update consists only of the newer March 2024 security patch.

The changelog does mention “New and/or enhanced features,” and “Further improvements to performance,” but this is just what Samsung's generic copy-pasted changelog looks like. There's no guarantee that the generic changelog reflects the real update.

The Galaxy A55 already ships with the latest version of One UI you can get, i.e., One UI 6.1, which means it will take a while before the phone will receive any new and meaningful software features.

One UI 6.1 is the same update that shipped with the Galaxy S24 series, although it doesn't contain any clever Galaxy AI tools for the mid-range A55 phone. Its chipset likely couldn't handle Samsung's Advanced Intelligence suite.

If you happen to own the Galaxy A55, you can keep an eye on our firmware page or try downloading this update manually on your phone by opening the Settings app, accessing “Software update,” and tapping “Download and install.”
