Samsung has issued a critical update for Galaxy smartphone users, following Google\u2019s warning<\/a> that a new Android vulnerability risks remote attacks on phones. \u201cUser interaction is not needed for exploitation,\u201d it says. This comes as the long anticipated \u201cOne UI 8.5 official rollout starts May 6<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n CVE-2026-0073 is one of two critical fixes in Samsung\u2019s May release<\/a>, the other being CVE-2026-0051. There are also a raft of high-severity fixes from both Google and Samsung. The usual advice applies. Update your phone as soon as you can.<\/p>\n The wait is finally over for Samsung users.<\/p>\n AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n While monthly security updates are important, most Galaxy owners are much more focused on the delayed One UI 8.5 upgrade, which is all about security<\/a>, as Samsung brings Google\u2019s and its own innovations to phones. The OS has been running for months on the new Galaxy S26, even though last year\u2019s Galaxy S25 is still without.<\/p>\n \u201cMay is going to be a crucial month for Samsung fans,\u201d SammyFans<\/a> says. \u201cThe next few weeks will be dedicated to endless software rollouts.” The One UI 8.5 stable release is rolling out to the Galaxy S25, Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, first in Korea and then to other regions. That means it will be some time before everyone is upgraded.<\/p>\n
