The October 2024 security patch, the only thing included in the new Galaxy S22 series update, addresses 42 security vulnerabilities. 30 of those are common to all Android devices while 12 vulnerabilities affect only Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

For those who missed it, we will only see security updates for Samsung phones and tablets for the remainder of this year. While some markets will get a beta program allowing users to test Android 15 and One UI 7.0 this year, Samsung has delayed the official release of the next major Android and One UI upgrade to 2025. The Galaxy S25 series will be the first to get the stable version of One UI 7.0.
