The October 2024 security update is rolling out to the Galaxy S22 series. The initial release is for the Exynos-powered Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra sold in Europe. It shouldn't take long for the update to start rolling out to the Snapdragon-powered variants sold in other parts of the world.
The update is identifiable by the build number S90xBXXSCEXI4. You can download it over the air from your phone's Settings » Software update menu. The latest firmware is available on SamMobile as well.
October 2024 update fixes 40+ security vulnerabilities
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. There's also a fix for a security flaw on devices powered by select Exynos chips, including the Exynos 2200 inside the Galaxy S22 series.
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.
