Samsung Galaxy A32 5G gets updated with December 2023 security patch


While other phones are getting the Android 14 update, older Galaxy phones that are not eligible for that update are getting the December 2023 security update. One such phone is the Galaxy A32 5G. The device is getting the December 2023 security update in several Latin American countries.

Galaxy A32 5G gets December 2023 security update in Latin America

The December 2023 security update is now rolling out to the Galaxy A32 5G, and it comes with firmware version A326BXXS9CWK9. The update is available in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. It fixes 75 security flaws found in the previous version of the phone’s software. Since it is just a security update, don’t expect it to bring any new features or performance improvements.

If you have a Galaxy A32 5G and if you live in any of the Latin American countries mentioned above, you can now check for the new security update. You can do that by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping Download and install. You can also use the manual firmware flashing process, but you would need to download the appropriate firmware file (version mentioned above) from our database and use the Odin tool on a computer running the Windows OS.

Samsung launched the Galaxy A32 5G in early 2021 with Android 11 onboard. It received the Android 12 update later that year and the Android 13 update in late 2022. It will not get the Android 14 update that has been released for several Samsung smartphones and tablets.

If you want to check out Android 14 (One UI 6.0) features, watch our in-depth video below. Moreover, you can upgrade from your Galaxy A32 5G to the Galaxy A34 by clicking the button below the video.
