Samsung’s Galaxy S25 – between your hands soon
While January was a huge month for Samsung, February could be even larger. The launch of the AI Galaxy S25 Filial S25 was an important step, but the landing of the device in users’ hands and the Android 15 / One Ui 7 upgrade will determine how much the whole point world feels good at the end of this month. Samsung cannot be mistaken.
While Google was really Samsung’s partner on the S25 Development and launch, with Gemini now as important as Galaxy Ai on the phone, he did not make his partners as February begins. This month Android security update Understands one day zero under active exploitation, and nothing highlights the Samsung update problems as well as the emergency fixes which must reach all its user base urgently.
Google warns Android users that the CVE-2024-53104 “can be under a limited and targeted operation.” This vulnerability affects the central Linux nucleus of Android, the mismanagement of video frames, the potential trigger for memory instability. It is now exploited in targeted attacks, but history suggests that this could develop as users are waiting for the fix.
Samsung played in both directions with such vulnerabilities before, sometimes releasing them immediately and other times waiting for the following month. I’m quite sure that this will be included in the exit from February. But there is another critical security correction in the update of Android, and it will probably be another story.
The CVE-2024-45569 is a Qualcomm corrective and therefore only applies to the devices with its relevant chipsets. Samsung tends to include these third-party components a month later than Google, and it will therefore probably be on the move. Fortunately, there is no suggestion that it was attacked, unlike the Qualcomm fixes last year.
The bad news for new buyers of Galaxy S25 is that the current firmware update only includes the security update of December. It is likely that it will be corrected quickly – but that has not yet happened. And it will highlight the Patchy update process which continues to frustrate users. The S25 should see transparent pixel type updates, a first for a flagship product from Samsung, but that will not accelerate the process in itself.
Meanwhile, the bad news for the Galaxy S24 owners remains the wait for the stable release of a IU 7, bringing Android 15 to the masses of Samsung. This is an excellent upgrade and makes Samsung phones materially safer and safer. It can’t come early enough.
Officially, this should be released by the end of the first quarter for relatively new flagship products. The S25 immediately leaves the box. But the feeling now seems to be that the owners of S24 could see the update of the security of February before seeing a user interface 7, which is good from the point of view of the correction but frustrating from the point of view of the functionality. There is no news, however, just a lot of speculation and users wishing to see the new firmware published.
As Sammyfans reports: “Recently, our main editor contacted Samsung supporting us to inform us about the state of the one UI 7 stable update. Asked about a provisional version calendar, the director of the medium said he did not have a specific date for the update. Something seems to be extinct, increasing the possibility of another slight delay in the distribution. The support representative also noted: “We cannot speculate on this subject” – probably a decision to prevent fans from creating media threshing, as has happened several times in the past. »»
