The arrival of new updates is usually a moment of joy for smartphone fans. This is especially true when they’re big updates packed with improvements and new features. However, what happens when the OTA file is a considerable size but you don’t know exactly what it contains? That’s what seems to be happening to Samsung Galaxy S25 series users in Europe after a large update.
Reports are coming in that Samsung is rolling out a massive 1.2GB software the Galaxy S25 lineup across Europe. That’s a chunky download for something that’s only identified as the May 2025 security patch. In fact, these flagship phones already received its corresponding May security patch a few weeks ago. Additionally, security updates are much smaller, focusing just on keeping your phone safe from digital nasties. So, the 1.2GB size of this OTA has many scratching their heads.
The content of Samsung Galaxy S25’s latest large update seems top secret
The mysterious update in question has build number S93xBXXU3AYE7. When a new firmware is this large, it typically means there are some significant changes or new features hiding beneath the surface. However, the changelog only vaguely mentions that there are improvements regarding stability, bug fixes, new features, and performance. While that all sounds great, it doesn’t tell us what new features were added, which bugs were squashed, or how performance has been boosted. It’s a bit like being told your car got a massive tune-up, but without a list of what was actually done.
There’s a chance we’re looking at a preparatory update for the upcoming One UI 8 release. However, this is speculation, as we have no official confirmation of this.
Whatever it is, for now, if you’re rocking a Galaxy S25 in Europe, you’ll want to check your phone settings to see if this OTA is waiting for you.
