    Galaxy A52’s second Android 13-based update brings new security fixes

    Firmware

    Last updated: December 14th, 2022 at 10:46 UTC+01:00

    The Galaxy A52 is among many other Samsung smartphones already updated to Android 13 and One UI 5.0, and it is now getting another Android 13-based update in some countries. The new update comes with firmware version A525FXXS4CVK4 and is rolling out in Germany, Kazakhstan and some countries in the Caucasian region.

    If you were hoping to see some fixes for issues you may have been facing on Android 13, you'll probably be disappointed. The only thing new in this update is the December 2022 security patch, details on which you can find here.

    Samsung will likely take a little longer to fix any issues the initial Android 13 firmware may have caused for all of the devices it has updated till now, as the company seems to want to first push the big OS upgrade to as many devices as quickly as possible (and it's done a stellar job). Still, it's to be appreciated that Samsung is also continuing to focus on security updates at the same time, even for mid-range phones like the Galaxy A52.

    You can check if the new update is available for your Galaxy A52 by opening its Settings app, navigating to the Software update menu, and tapping Download and install. Alternatively, you can choose to manually upgrade your phone by downloading the relevant firmware from our archive using Samsung's Odin tool on a Windows PC.
