Samsung launches Galaxy S25 with Android 15 update but skips January security patch

Samsung has released the Galaxy S25 with an Android 15 update, but it includes a December 2024 security patch, raising questions about the missing January patch. The update is available for European and U.S. models. The firmware files for the S25 are over 24GB, significantly larger than the 14GB files for the S24 Ultra. This increase may indicate more storage requirements for the new software. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 series is expected to receive its stable update by mid-February 2025, while older models like the S23 and S22 will likely get updates by the end of the first quarter.
