I recently bought the A32 5G (SM-A326B/DS) in United Arab Emirates. The phone came with November 2021 security patch level (PDA: A326BXXU4AUJ6) and it seems no other updates are available, at least at this time. According to this website, that's actually the latest available firmware.
When I check this model in other locations, it seems updates are released more frequently. My old Motorola received security patches every two month. I never had a Samsung phone before and I am a little concerned about this.
According to Samsung's website, A32 5G should receive security patches every three month, but now four months are past without any updates.
Is it normal for Samsung A series to receive updates so late?

no it isn't, maybe it's your carrier's fault

Thinking of picking one up, but, how often does Samsung update the os? Does it get regular security updates like the flagship phones? Saw a a user recently reported they got a blueborne security update along with a value pack 3 update from a us carrier, did anyone else get this update or blueborne patch yet in Australia?
Thanks
Edit, just found out, as of Oct 20, latest availble security uodate for Australia is R760XXXU2AQC
Anyone know what security fixes this has?
So where are the monthly security patches? I'm on the current software and is still August first security patch. Aren't we supposed to get a monthly patch from Samsung? Didn't they advertise that for all future phones after the S7?
I owned an S8+ and it got monthly updates for 3 or 4 months, now those have stopped too.
Anyone know what the deal is? Not even sure it's an AT&T issue. Looks like no Samsung phones are beyond Android 7.1.1 August 1st security patch.
Only applies to unlocked devices.
Carrier devices are managed differently.
I bought a second hand, originally EE sold. M5 10.8 with LTE a month ago.
Happy with the product except for two things
For some reason EE have blocked and removed the phone functionality, even though they left SMS messaging....
I have tried to update the tablet to Pie by
Tablet....Settings...Update
Hisuite connection and update through the application
Both the above via VPN to multiple European countries
No joy, so I was wondering, has ANYONE in the UK with an EE sourced M5 received an update or is this one of those highly irritating, blocked by vendor IMEI number problems that won't be resolved until EE extract the digit from whichever dank orifice it is currently stuck in......
Nothing on mine either, been checking for months
As an update, I reached out to Huawei UK support (08000 0886700), explained my situation and I was informed that, after I gave them all my tablet details, I should expect an update within the next 1-2 weeks..... One waits with bated breath...….
Never ever buy network devices. You only have yourself to blame.

Me too 4 weeks ago wonder if it was unlocked and network changed if it would update then?
Checked my MediaPad M5 on EE today and was very excited to see that an update was available. My excitement soon waned when i saw that it was just a security patch update and not an upgrade to Android and EMUI 9
Still it's the first security update since September 2018 and it's now up to August 2019, so at least it's had something come through.
CMR-AL09
Now on: 8.0.0.203 (C440)
You mean a downgrade to Pie. It's rubbish on the M5.

I'll be honest, not long after getting that update I got rid of the tablet and got a HP Envy Windows on Arm tablet instead :crying:
I read Samsung will only be pushing (Google) security updates every 3 months for the S7, but the latest was March 1st, so when is a new security update to be expected? Anybody already received one? I live in Belgium in case location matters. Normally should have been June 1st if cycle is 3 months.
Second, can we only expect 1 more year of security updates from Samsung for the S7 or could it be longer? Places like Amazon.de (Germany) still sell new S7 models.
Hi,
I had purchased the Korean version of the Z fold 2 SM-F916N here in the UAE, its PDA is F916NKSU1ATK1 and CSC is F916NOKR1ATK1, yes it SK Telecom carrier tagged, but i can use with local service provider Etisalat without any issue except for Samsung Pay, what i wanted to know is why its still showing the October 2020 security patch as the latest, anybody having the same model got the November or December security patch?
Also will there any issues if I flash the phone to UAE CSC (XSG) from the current Korean CSC (KSU) ?
Thanks
Hi, I'm in the US. I have an unlocked, direct from Samsung Fold 2. I'm still on the Nov security patch. Samsung's time line for Android 11/One UI 3.0 update is Feb 2021. My guess is, I will get the December and Jan patch later this month. I would anticipate you getting those updates as well. Your updates may take a little longer only because it is carrier branded and so there is yet another chef in the kitchen, so to speak.
*Not sure about the flashing, sorry.
How can you still be on November security update living in USA? I have unlocked Fold using on AT&T network and I have December security update already since December 19, 2020?

Thanks for your reply, yeah I get what you are saying with "another chef in the kitchen", carriers take their own sweet time pushing the updates, they have their own schedules as opposed to Samsung's monthly updates for premium flagships, was hoping it would be different with the Z Fold 2, being also an expensive phone.

Same. I'm a little confused by their timing with updates, however take as long as you need if it's going to ensure a good experience. Cheers

Depends where you buy it. The non carrier unlock receives updates last. Which why we still on Nov update. Once all carrier are approved we get pushed the update.
