Samsung is rolling out the May 2026 security patch to the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A06 5G, starting in Malaysia for the A57 and India for the A06 5G.
The update delivers 39 fixes in total—29 from Google’s Android Security Bulletin and 10 from Samsung—under firmware versions A576BXXS2AZE2 and A066BXXS6BZE1.
Users in those markets can install the patch from Settings > Software update > Download and install if the notification has not yet appeared.
Samsung is expected to expand availability to more countries soon, especially for the Galaxy A57, as the company continues its broader May 2026 security rollout.
