Currently, Samsung is rolling out the August 2024 security update to the international variant of the Galaxy M55, which has the model number SM-M556B. The software update carries firmware version M556BXXU3AXG7.

Apart from the latest security update, the new software update also improves the device's stability and reliability. To that extent, Samsung says “Device behavior has been improved.” However, the improvements might be so minute that you might not notice them.

How to download software updates on Galaxy M55?

To get the August 2024 security update on your Galaxy M55, go to Settings » Software update » Download and install. You can also download the new firmware from our database and install it using Odin. Samsung should roll the update out to other variants of the phone soon.

The story continues after the video…

While some people might find it surprising that Samsung has rolled out the August 2024 security update to the Galaxy M55 before rolling it out to newer and costlier devices, it isn’t unusual for the brand to do this. It often releases security updates to older devices first instead of newer ones.

That being said, the company should start rolling out the August 2024 security update to other devices any moment now. Follow us on Telegram or WhatsApp to keep yourself up-to-date about everything Samsung.
