Samsung continues to expand its December 2025 security update to Galaxy devices, with the A35, A54, A53, A13, and Tab A9 becoming the latest.

Over the past couple of hours, Samsung pushed the December 2025 security update to the Galaxy A35, A54, A53, and A13 phones, along with the Tab A9 tablet. Notably, the initial rollout is happening in South Korea and India.

Most of the devices are running Android 16-based One UI 8 firmware. Galaxy A13 is the only device operating on an older OS version. Meanwhile, the latest December SMR carries 68 fixes for Android CVE and One UI SVE items.

Here are the build versions:

• Galaxy A35 – CYK1
• Galaxy A54 – EYL2 (via MohammedKhatri)
• Galaxy A53 – GYL1
• Galaxy A13 – EYL2
• Galaxy Tab A9 – DYL2

Previously, Samsung updated its Galaxy A15, A05, A24, M44, Tab S8 series, and Tab S10 FE series with new firmware updates. Additionally, plenty of Samsung devices on the Verizon network have also grabbed the latest patches.

Earlier this month, Samsung revealed a device chart eligible for monthly, quarterly, and biannual updates. The quarterly schedule brings the majority of mid-range and budget devices, making it a significant portion.

It has been noticed that the company isn’t pushing quarterly devices to the biannual chart. As of December, the biannual category has a handful of phones and tablets. Samsung is retiring devices directly from the quarterly chart.

How to update

Samsung phones bring built in tool to update software. You can access the menu through Settings > Software update. At this stage, tap the Download and install button to force the device connect to the server and fetch an update.
