Samsung recently moved the 2018 flagship Galaxy S9 series to a Quarterly update cycle. However, it has given a special spot to the recently launched Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G devices as they are eligible for monthly security updates, unlike the other Galaxy Ax2 devices.

Samsung recently rolled out an update for Galaxy A52 with the firmware version A525FXXU1AUC5 in parts of Europe. This included the latest April 2021 security patch and it came even before April began.

That and looking at the recently Samsung’s updated Security update eligibility page, we found that Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G are on the monthly security update list. Whereas, the other Galaxy Ax2 devices like:

Galaxy A02, Galaxy A02s, Galaxy A12, Galaxy A32, Galaxy A32 5G, Galaxy A42 5G, Galaxy A72 are all on the Quarterly update cycle. You can take a look at the screenshot below(at the time of writing this):

This makes the Galaxy A52 devices grab a special spot on the monthly security update cycle which only has the Enterprise version of Galaxy A50 as the remaining A-series phone. However, all the recently launched Galaxy Ax2 devices including the higher-priced sibling of Galaxy A52, the Galaxy A72 are on a Quarterly cycle.

You might wonder if it’s an erroneous listing but it looks like Samsung has updated the list very recently especially after updating few devices with April 2021 security patches. We can guess a lot of reasons for this including the incredible success of the predecessor Galaxy A51 but only Samsung can say the real reason behind this.

Anyway, let’s see if Samsung continues to update the Galaxy A52 above other A-series devices in the future. If you are a Galaxy A72 user, how do you feel about this change? Do let us know in the comments below.
