Samsung has released a new software update to the Galaxy A02 two months after releasing the March 2023 security update. The entry-level smartphone is now getting the June 2023 security update, bringing it in line with various other high-end and mid-range smartphones and tablets.

It includes the June 2023 security update that fixes over 50 security flaws found in Galaxy phones and tablets. It doesn't bring any new features or performance improvements.

Samsung launched the Galaxy A02 in early 2021 with Android 10 onboard. The phone received the Android 11 update in early 2022, but it still hasn't received the Android 12 update. At this point we aren't even sure if the South Korean firm has plans to release an Android OS update to the smartphone, and this is highly unusual from the company that is usually known for good software support policy.
