The phone hasn't even been out since July 2014
And Samsung wallet will still work even on July patch 1728755872450.jpg

The phone came out in 2023. Need security patches to work correctly and safe.

Does it? Lol thanks I also know things... but your statement of no updates since 2014 is wrong. Also that Samsung pay isn't working because of it being on July patch, is also wrong.

I said, "No updates since July 2024. How is this a lie? My debit card stop working, will not reload on my phone. I called my bank and they told me it was a security issue. How is this a lie?

It was a typo, you put 2014 instead of 2024😉

Yes. Thanks for the correction. The bottom line is that Samsung really dropped the ball this time. S23 ultra was $1800, all in here in Canada. That is a boat load of money, and one would expect top-notch customer service. Many people want a divorce, but still expect 4 years of top-notch service for money spent.

I agree, as you may have noticed from my posts. 

For the "thousandth time", I couldn't care less about the One UI V6.1.1 update, but it is inexcusable that Samsung Canada has not:

  • a) pushed the Security Patch Updates at least! 
  • b) No one from Samsung Canada has made any comment regarding this serous issue! 

Of course the device still works, but that is irrelevant.. Google has provided security Bulletins, characterized as "CRITICAL" & "SERIOUS".

Critical
CVE-2024-33042, CVE-2024-33052

High
CVE-2024-3655, CVE-2024-31336, CVE-2024-23716, CVE-2024-36972, CVE-2024-23365, CVE-2024-23362, CVE-2024-33016, CVE-2024-33045, CVE-2024-33054, CVE-2024-33038, CVE-2024-33035, CVE-2024-33034, CVE-2024-33060, CVE-2024-23358, CVE-2024-23359, CVE-2024-23364, CVE-2024-33051, CVE-2024-33057, CVE-2024-33050, CVE-2024-33048, CVE-2024-33043, CVE-2024-0044, CVE-2024-40676, CVE-2024-40675, CVE-2024-40673, CVE-2024-40672, CVE-2024-40677, CVE-2024-40674

The above are JUST from October.. Never mind August & September!

No issues with Samsung Wallet on my S23 Ultra.

I agree absolutely that Samsung needs to push the Security Patch Updates.. immediately, but the device is anything but "useless". 

From the user's perspective, it's functioning exactly as always.. but there are increasing risks.

Sell your S23 and buy an iPhone.
