Samsung started releasing software updates of January 2024 for Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series, which includes the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphones.
Currently, these updates are only available in North American nations and are likely to be released to more countries soon. The update may be identified by particular One UI build versions for each model: S906EXXS7DWL8 for the Galaxy S22 Plus, S908EXXS7DWL8 for the Galaxy S22 Ultra and S901EXXS7DWL8 for the Galaxy S22.
What are the features of January 2024 Update?
The important feature of the January release software update is security fixes. The upgrade fixes 75 vulnerabilities in the Android operating system, including one critical, 68 high-risk, and multiple moderate-risk vulnerabilities.
To minimize probable attacker exploitation, Samsung has decided to withhold key vulnerability data in its January 2024 software release.
Furthermore, Samsung addressed over 80 security concerns of Galaxy smartphones. Among these improvements is a vulnerability that enables users to read other users’ alerts in multi-user settings (which is only for tablets). These update also resolves security flaws in the My Files app, which may allow attackers to create files or connect Bluetooth devices without the user’s permission.
How to check if you can update your device?
To check the updates go to the setting and then the “Software Update” tab. Since the software update rollout just started, the availability of these updates might vary in your region or county, this could take hours or days to reach all Galaxy S22 smartphones.
This software update’s security patches are also being rolled out to other Galaxy devices by Samsung, including the Galaxy Z Flip, Z Fold series, and others. Check the official Samsung website or the settings on your phone to see whether the updates are available for your smartphone.
