Similar speech for Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ And Galaxy S23 Ultrawhich they are receiving in Italy the October 2025 security patch. At the same time, the rollout of One UI 8 and Android 16, which had been interrupted for a few days, has resumed: we still don’t know in detail what the problem was, but evidently it has now been resolved. Those who had already updated to Android 16 are only receiving patches.

As we can see in the most recent bulletin published by Samsung, the patches of the month are intended to correct 14 CVE side vulnerabilities (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, concerning Android in general) e 20 EVS vulnerabilities (Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures, more specifically concerning Samsung products). This time we do not find any critical level vulnerabilities on the list. Bugfixes and stability improvements have also been integrated, although they are no longer specifically mentioned in the changelog.

For more substantial changes we will have to wait for the arrival of One UI 8.5: the beta should arrive at the end of November (even if the latest reports speak of delays), probably starting from the Galaxy S25 series, while the stable version should arrive together with the Galaxy S26 (first quarter 2026).
