Samsung, which recently launched the Galaxy S25 series, continues to prioritize user security by rolling out updates. The South Korean brand has now released a highly anticipated update for one of its popular smartphones.
January 2025 Update Released for Galaxy A15
The latest model to receive Samsung’s January 2025 update is the Galaxy A15. The update, with the build number A156USQS5BYA3, is currently available for devices in the US but is expected to roll out to other regions soon. In addition to addressing system vulnerabilities, the update promises a more stable user experience.
If the update notification hasn’t appeared automatically on your device, you can manually check for it by navigating to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install. If you still cannot find the update, it may not yet be available in your region, so you might need to wait a little longer.
