Samsung started on phones Galaxy A52 and A52 5G to release the May update. It brings the latest security patch, but also various other improvements, including the function of video call effects.

The new update carries firmware version A525xXXU2AUE1 (Galaxy A52) and A526BXXU2AUE1 (Galaxy A52 5G) and is currently distributed in various European countries. As with past updates of this kind, this one should also roll out to other countries in the coming days.

The update notes are quite extensive – Samsung promises improvements to the Quick Share file sharing app, improved touchscreen stability, call quality and better camera performance. However, some of these improvements were already part of the last pro update Galaxy A52. As for the May security patch, it fixes dozens of vulnerabilities (including three critical ones) that in Androidu found by Google, and over two dozen vulnerabilities discovered by Samsung in One UI.

For many, perhaps the most important part of the update will be the video call effects function, which the phone also received a few days ago Galaxy A72. The feature allows the user to add custom backgrounds created using third-party apps like Zoom or Google Duo to video calls. You can use a basic blur effect, add an opaque color to the background or set your own images from the gallery on them. The feature originally debuted with the flagship series Galaxy S21.
