Samsung continues to maintain a steady security update schedule for its Galaxy devices, even as it focuses on releasing One UI 7.0. The March 2025 security patch is currently rolling out to many phones and tablets, ensuring that devices are protected from the latest security vulnerabilities.
Here are all the details about the update, which devices will receive it, and what users can expect after the update.
What's new in the March 2025 security update for Samsung Galaxy?
Samsung has always prioritized the security of its devices, and the March 2025 security patch is proof of that. While it doesn't bring any new features, the update fixes security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad guys.
According to Samsung's official documentation, the March 2025 patch fixes 11 critical vulnerabilities, including security flaws that directly affect the Android operating system. In addition, the update also addresses 40 high-priority vulnerabilities related to the One UI interface, software system, and Samsung's native applications.
The company also emphasized that 7 of these fixes are specific to Galaxy devices, meaning they are not included in Google's general security patches but only appear on One UI. This shows that Samsung is proactively protecting users from potential risks that Galaxy devices may encounter.
Although there are no new features included, this update plays an important role in ensuring data security and protecting user privacy. If you own an eligible Galaxy device, it is essential to update as soon as possible.

According to a recent announcement, Samsung will start rolling out One UI 7.0 from April 7, 2025, but the first wave of updates will only be available for the Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 series. Devices like the Galaxy S23, S22, and older Z series will likely have to wait until May or June.
However, while you wait for the major interface update, it is still important to install the March 2025 security patch to protect your device from security risks.
