Burak Mete ErdoğanSamsung furthers its promise of timely updates by pushing the October 2024 security patch for the Galaxy S22 series units in the USA. This critical update is now hitting the factory unlocked units of the Galaxy S22 across the states following its international rollout.
New in the October 2024 Security Update?
The update, carrying firmware version S90xU1UES6EXJ1, brings most changes centered around device security. Looked at from another angle, the update carries the October 2024 Security Patch, fixing over 42 vulnerabilities of the previous software iteration. Such bugs may expose users to potential risks if left unpatched, so here’s why installing this update is highly recommended for all Galaxy S22 users as soon as possible.
No New Features or Performance Boosts
While this update doesn’t bring any new features or performance upgrades, there are security patches to keep your Galaxy S22 series phone safe. Samsung has saved its next set of significant software improvements for the One UI 7.0 update, based on Android 15 and launching over the next few months.
Installing the Update
US owners of the factory unlocked Galaxy S22 series devices should now be able to manually check for the update via Settings >> Software Update >> Download and install. As usual, Samsung is staging its rollout of updates, so if it has not hit your device yet, try again in a day or two.
Now that the October 2024 security patch is finally rolling out, Galaxy S22 series users in the USA are ensured protection from recent security vulnerabilities until the highly-anticipated One UI 7.0 hits.
