Samsung’s rollout of the May 2026 security update is underway following a brief delay. The update first arrived on some mid-range Galaxy A-series models before it started expanding to premium Galaxy S-series and XCover models.
We’ve prepared a list of Galaxy devices that have started receiving the May security update. Check out the list below to see if yours is included.
These Samsung devices are receiving the May 2026 security update
Galaxy S series
- Galaxy S26
- Galaxy S26+
- Galaxy S26 Ultra
Galaxy A series
- Galaxy A57
- Galaxy A56
- Galaxy A55
- Galaxy A54
- Galaxy A06
Galaxy XCover series
- Galaxy XCover 7 Pro
- Galaxy XCover 6 Pro
The list is short because the rollout began only recently. It should grow over the coming days as more Galaxy devices receive the update. We’ll update the list regularly to ensure it’s fresh. To check whether the update is available on your device, go to Settings > Software updates, then tap Download and install.
According to Samsung’s Security Updates page, the May 2026 security patch for Galaxy devices includes fixes for a total of 37 vulnerabilities. It includes 30 fixes from Google, which include 2 critical-level fixes, 27 high-level fixes, and 1 fix doesn’t apply to Samsung devices. The latest security patch also contains seven Samsung-specific fixes (SVEs).
Samsung’s software team is likely extremely busy at this point. The One UI 8.5 stable rollout is ongoing, and the One UI 9.0 beta program has also begun recently. The company is rumored to have also begun working on One UI 9.5.
With a lot of work in progress, it’s not surprising to see a delay in the monthly security update release. Anyway, the May security update has started to expand to more Galaxy devices, and we’ll likely see it rolling out to other devices at a better pace from here on.
