Samsung may speed up its Android updates in Europe

Samsung has been among the best Android OEMs when it comes to timely firmware updates across its fleet of devices and users in Europe may soon get new updates even faster. According to a new report from Galaxy Club, Samsung will be developing firmware with a unified Country Specific Code (CSC) classification for all its upcoming phones in Europe. The EUX identifier is already present on the 4G version of the Galaxy A52, Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 and this will be the case on most new phones set to debut later this year.

Going forward Samsung will be able to push new updates to all EUX devices in Europe simultaneously which would be a welcome move as until now users in some countries had to wait longer before the update was cleared for their specific region. According to Galaxy Club the Galaxy S22 series, A53, A33 and A13 will all release with the unified EUX identifier.

It remains to be seen if carrier-branded devices will also benefit from the new software approach and if Samsung will bring this feature to other regions outside Europe.
