Galaxy S23 series getting a new April 2024 update outside Europe

Samsung is rolling out a second April 2024 software update for the Galaxy S23 series in some markets. This update is different from the second April update that was released to the Galaxy S23 and other Galaxy smartphones in Europe a few days back and included 4G-related changes applicable only to devices bought in the region.

For Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra users in other regions, the newer April update seems to be focused on security enhancements. However, it comes with the same security patch version as the previous update, so it's unclear if it actually brings something new to the 2023 flagship.

The UAE appears to be the first market to get this new update–sporting a build number ending in CXD8–for the Galaxy S23 series, though we can assume that it will eventually be released in other markets as well. Once that happens, you can be sure you will hear about it here on SamMobile.

You will be able to download this new update on your Galaxy S23, S23+, or S23 Ultra over the air by going to the phone's Settings » Software update menu and selecting Download and install. We will also have the complete firmware files for the update, which can be used to manually update a device using a Windows PC, available in our firmware archive.

Own a Galaxy S22, S22+, or S22 Ultra, the predecessors to the fantastic Galaxy S23 series phones? Look forward to the massive One UI 6.1 update that's expected to go live for all of Samsung's 2022 flagships in early May and will bring many of the Galaxy S24's fancy AI features with it. Flagship Galaxy devices from 2021 will also get the update in the same month.
