Samsung has updated nearly all the devices in its portfolio to the latest version of Android at an impressive pace. Only a handful of smartphones haven’t received the update and it’s only a matter of time before they get the software treat in the form of One UI 5. The latest and probably one of the last Samsung devices to get the Android 13-based update is the budget Galaxy A04s.
Galaxy A04s is one of the cheapest Samsung-made smartphones and it was launched only a few months ago with Android 12. Now, the device has started receiving the latest Android 13 update with a firmware version labeled A047MUBU1BVK5. The update is currently being seeded in Panama, however, it should extend to other regions in the coming days.
As the A04s is a budget model, it gets the One UI Core 5.0 instead of the normal version. It’s basically the same as the regular One UI 5 with a few omissions. Basically, some of the new Android 13 features are not supported on the device because it lacks the required hardware.
The update also brings November 2022 security patch with itself. The handset is listed on Samsung’s quarterly update schedule, which means it will get the next security patch in Q1 2023.
As usual, Samsung is rolling out the latest update in a staged fashion, so it will take some time to reach every unit. If you have a Galaxy A04s and live in Panama, you can update your device to Android 13 by going to Settings, tapping on the Software update menu, and selecting Download and install.
