Samsung Galaxy A51 December Security Patch: Report

Samsung has allegedly started the rollout of a new software update for the Galaxy A51 in some markets that brings camera Stability improvements. To recall, the Galaxy A51 went official late last year and was launched in India back in January this year. The change in the new software update mentions camera stability enhancement. Additionally, the update also brings the December security patch of Android to the Galaxy A51 in the European markets, where it has been released. However, the update does not mention the arrival of any new features.

As per a report from SamMobile, the latest software update carries the build number of A515FXXU1ASL6. The company said that it is currently available only for Galaxy A51 users in France, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland, the UK, Slovenia, Spain, and a few other European countries. There is no announcement from Samsung on when the rollout will begin in other markets where the smartphone has been launched. In case you haven't received the OTA notification yet, you can manually check for its availability in the software update section in the app Settings. The update is of 223.98MB in size and is now being rolled out via the stable OTA channel.

It seems that the new update is only being rolled out in markets where the phone runs on the older security version out of the box. In markets like India, where the smartphone was launched in January, the Samsung Galaxy A51 already had the December Android patch running and it is now ready to receive the January security patch. As we mentioned above, the new update only brings camera stability improvement but it doesn't specify whether it is about the whole camera or its only for video and image stabilization abilities.
