Yesterday, Samsung released the September 2023 security update, and that update is now available for the Galaxy S23 series. The new security update is currently rolling out to the carrier-locked versions of Galaxy S23 series phones in the US.
The newest software update for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with firmware version S91xUSQS1AWHD for the carrier-locked units in the US. The update is currently rolling out on Verizon's network in the US. Other carriers could also release the new update on their networks soon. As per Samsung's documentation, the September 2023 security patch fixes 62 security flaws found in the previous version of the software.
Looking at the firmware version, it looks like the update only brings the new security patch and nothing else. So, don't expect to see any new features or performance improvements with the new software update.
In a few months, Samsung will be releasing the Android 14 and One UI 6.0 update worldwide for a number of eligible Galaxy smartphones and tablets. But like it has done for previous big Android and One UI updates, Samsung is letting customers in some markets to beta test Android 14 and One UI 6.0.
The Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra were the first to get the One UI 6.0 beta, which was to be expected, and slowly but surely Samsung will release it for other devices. The company hasn't officially revealed which devices those will be, but we've created a list of devices that might be eligible based on how previous One UI beta programs were conducted.
