The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is already getting the Android security update for May 2025, and the rollout has kicked off in the US. It’s only May 2, so Samsung is quite early this month, when it comes to a security update.

Samsung breaks its pattern with an early US release of May update, the Galaxy S25 series is first in line

This update is rolling out for carrier-locked units in the US at the moment. The Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra are reporting that they’re receiving the update already, as Samsung seems to have turned things around.

Samsung usually starts rolling out the update in Korea, after which it quickly spreads to other markets, within a matter of days. It usually comes to unlocked devices first, but it’s different this time around.

The firmware version S93xUSQS3AYDF is indeed being rolled out, as users suggested, SamMobile reports. Do note that this is not a huge update, though, as expected. It only brings security improvements.

These phones ship with Android 15 and One UI 7

As a reminder, the Galaxy S25 series shipped with Android 15 out of the box, with One UI 7 included on top of it. So it did not receive that update in the last month or so, like many other Galaxy devices.

In any case, we still don’t know what this security update fixes exactly. Samsung did not reveal the details just yet. It will patch up a number of Google and Samsung loopholes on the device, that’s for sure. That goes for both Android in general, and One UI 7 in specific.

If you are running either of the three Galaxy S25 units in the US, and they’re locked to a carrier, you should be getting the update soon, if you haven’t already. The rollout for unlocked models will almost certainly start very soon too, so be on the lookout.
