Samsung updates Galaxy S22 with January 2025 security patch

Samsung is going to hold a Galaxy Unpacked event tomorrow where it will launch the Galaxy S25 series. While the company is occupied with that, it hasn’t forgotten about older devices. The South Korean tech giant has released a new software update to its flagship smartphones from 2022, the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

It offers the January 2025 security patch which fixes a bunch of issues. Samsung has made it available for the carrier-unlocked variants of the three phones, which have model numbers SM-S901U1, SM-S906U1, and SM-S908U1. The software update changes their firmware versions to S901U1UES7EXL8, S906U1UES7EXL8, and S908U1UES7EXL8.

There are three ways for you to get the update. First, click on the notification you might have received about it. If you haven’t received an alert, you will have to take the second route, which is to go to Settings » Software update » Download & Install. The third is to download the firmware from our database (or any other trusted source) and install it using Odin.

It is worth pointing out that the Galaxy S22 series is eligible to get Android 15-based One UI 7. It offers many new features, which you can check out here. Expect Samsung to start releasing it to eligible devices after the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event.
