Samsung continues to support its older budget smartphone, the Galaxy M02, with a new firmware update. Despite its age, the company has rolled out the December 2023 security patch for this low-cost model, indicating ongoing support for its legacy devices.
For those keeping an eye on security updates, Samsung has already introduced the February 2024 security patch details, putting the Galaxy M02 a few months behind in terms of security standards. This delay is quite typical for budget smartphones, especially those that are past their period of receiving frequent monthly updates.
Currently, the security update has been spotted for the Galaxy M02 variant SM-M022M in Panama. It is anticipated that other markets and model variants, such as SM-M022F and M022G, will also receive the security patch in the near future.
Users in Panama with the Galaxy M02 can search for the new firmware update under the version M022MUBS4BXA1. To check for the update, Galaxy M02 owners can navigate to the “Settings” menu on their device, then proceed to “Software update,” and select “Download and install” to initiate the process.
Owners of the Galaxy M02 should stay vigilant for the update notification and take advantage of the improved security it offers, even as it remains a step behind the very latest security patches.
