The update comes a day after it was rolled out for US carrier variants of the flagship.
Samsung (not Google) is by far the fastest in rolling out monthly security updates for its devices. It’s an odd notion, given that Samsung has more smartphones on its list than Google, but the former has a consistently streamlined update rollout process, barring a few rare delays like last month. With September officially over, now is the time for the October 2022 security update to start hitting devices. Samsung was particularly quick with the US versions of the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 with networks announcing the update before we even entered October. Just a day later, the security patch made its way to Galaxy S22 models in Asia and Europe.
Galaxy S22 series customers in Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are getting the firmware version update S908EXXS2AVI7, reports SamMobile. Meanwhile, the October 2022 patch is coming to Europe with the firmware version S90xBXXS2AVI7.
Unfortunately, a full changelog for this update is not yet available. But at this point, we recommend downloading it anyway, as it fixes all existing security vulnerabilities on your Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, or Galaxy S22 Ultra. If the OTA update notification hasn’t reached your smartphone yet, try extracting it manually by going to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install.
As we head towards the end of 2022, all attention is now on Samsung’s One UI 5 update, which will start reaching select devices, including the S22 series, by the end of this year. . It’s as precise a timeline as the one we currently have. Others in the first set of Samsung phones to get the update will be the Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 4, and mid-ranger Galaxy A53. .
