Samsung’s Galaxy A52 was launched in India in April 2021

Among the many Samsung smartphones being updated to Android 13 this year, the older Samsung Galaxy A52 5G and the Galaxy A71 5G can now also be added to this list. Samsung has started rolling out its Android 13 update for both smartphones, but the update for the Galaxy A71 5G will only be available in select regions. The update includes the latest One UI 5.0 interface from Samsung and also brings the expected features that come with Android 13.

According to a report by SamMobile, the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G model currently receiving the update is the carrier-locked model that was only available for sale in the US. It receives an Android 13 update with One UI 5.0 with the firmware version A526USQU7DVK3. The source also claims that other carrier-locked versions of the Galaxy A52 sold in the US should also receive their respective Android 13 updates soon.

To recall, Samsung launched two models of the Galaxy A52 in India, which includes the Galaxy A52, which only supported 4G bands and the Galaxy A52s 5G which features 5G support along with some minor hardware upgrades.

As for the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G, it was a global variant that sold more widely but did not reach India. Samsung has only launched the non-5G variant of the handset called the Galaxy A71 in India.

According to the same source, the Galaxy A71 5G is being upgraded to Android 13 with One UI 5.0 with the firmware version A716BXXU6EVL2. The report claims that the update is currently only rolling out to units in the UAE, but that it will be available in more Asian and European markets soon.

Samsung’s One UI 5.0 update brings many cosmetic and performance improvements over the previous version of Samsung’s custom Android 13 skin. There’s a refreshed UI with dynamic themed icons, smarter stackable widgets, and a brand new lock screen that looks eerily similar to Apple’s iOS 16 lock screen. There are also new multitasking gestures like a two-finger swipe up for split screen and a swipe from the right corner to launch an app in popup view. One UI also has its own Privacy Hub that has all the necessary controls in one place. Apart from this, there is the usual serving of Android 13 features, which come in the form of privacy and security improvements.
