Despite being busy launching the Galaxy S24 worldwide, Samsung hasn't forgotten to roll out the latest security update to its smartphones and tablets. The Galaxy A73 is the new Samsung phone to receive the January 2024 security update, and the update is rolling out in European countries.
Galaxy A73 gets January 2024 security update, starting with Europe
The latest security update for the Galaxy A73 comes with firmware version A736BXXS6DXA1. It is available in Turkey right now, but we expect it to be released across Europe within the next few days. Other regions could soon follow. The update has a file size of under 500MB, so you can download it even using your cellular connection. The January 2024 security patch included in this update fixes around 75 security flaws that were discovered in the previous software.
If you have a Galaxy A73 and live in Europe, it is time to check for the new update for your smartphone. To do that, navigate to Settings » Software update and tap Download and install. You can also download the newest firmware file for your device from our firmware database and flash it manually using Odin and a computer running the Windows operating system. You need to back up all the important data before starting the process, though.
Samsung launched the Galaxy A73 in early 2022 with Android 12 onboard. Samsung promised to release four major Android OS updates to the smartphone. It released the Android 13 update in late 2022 and the Android 14 update in late 2023. So, two more Android OS updates are coming to the Galaxy A73 in the future. The company could release the One UI 6.1 update to the device in the next few months, and you can watch its new features in our video below.
