Samsung has just rolled out a fresh software update for the Galaxy S23 series. While the company’s monthly security patches have been arriving a
little later than usual, it seems things are finally getting back on track. This delay is likely due to Samsung’s focus on rolling out One UI 6.1 to eligible devices.

What’s in the Galaxy S23 May 2024 Update ?
The May 2024 security update, which first appeared on the Galaxy S24, is now making its way to the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The United States is the first market to receive this update, starting with some carrier-locked units. If you have an unlocked device or live in another country, you should see the update in the coming days.
Battery Drain Concerns
If you’ve been experiencing battery drain issues since installing One UI 6.1, this update might not bring the relief you’re hoping for. The primary focus of this update (build number ending in CXD7) is to enhance device security. Fortunately, the Galaxy S23 series doesn’t seem to suffer from battery drain issues as severely as some other models, like the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
How to Update Your Device
To download the update, head to your phone’s Settings > Software update > Download and install. If the update isn’t immediately available, try checking again in a few hours. Alternatively, you can download the full firmware files from Samsung’s firmware archive and install the update manually using a Windows PC.
Keeping your device updated is crucial for security and performance. Even if this update doesn’t address battery concerns, it will ensure your Galaxy S23 remains secure and up-to-date.
