S23 Ultra Play System Update Available

[RedDogRabbit]

Apologies if this has already been posted, but as I don't use my S23 Ultra very often.. I saw that the April 1st Play System Update is available for this device. 

It was also a fair bit larger than the one on my S25 Ultra..

It's probably because the S23 Ultra hasn't yet gotten the One UI 7 update

That or because I haven't used the S23 Ultra for a while, whereas my S25 Ultra has received incremental small Play System Updates, which didn't change the Play System version.. so it's possible that I didn't see any incremental updates on my S23 Ultra?

We mostly receive Play Services updates monthly. This is unrelated to Samsung; it's for Android core security and applies to all phones. UI7 provides more features and options, while Google handles Android security.

You would think that we would receive BOTH Play System & Security Patch Updates monthly, but that hasn't been the case for a number of devices. 

Play System comes directly from Google, whereas, Security Patch Updates come directly from Samsung's Servers.

Hmm. I agree, as you know, Google Play Services updates monthly to fix bugs, boost security and privacy, improve core functions (login, location), and add features across Android, Wear OS, TV, and Auto and not only the phones.
