A couple of days back, Samsung released the August 2023 security update for the Galaxy S22 series in Latin America. The update has now crossed boundaries to reach the US. More precisely, the company is pushing the new SMR (Security Maintenance Release) to its 2022 flagships in Puerto Rico. It should soon be available in the mainland US as well. Users in other parts of the world can also expect to receive the latest security patch in the coming days.
Samsung‘s August SMR is currently rolling out to factory-unlocked variants of the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra in Puerto Rico. The new firmware build number for the phones is S90*U1UES3CWG2. The official changelog supplied by the Korean firm reveals that the devices aren’t getting anything more than this month’s security patches. Users in Latin America also only received the August SMR and nothing else.
As said earlier, Samsung will soon expand the rollout of the August SMR for the Galaxy S22 series to other parts of the US as well as the rest of the world. The update will also be available for users with carrier-locked units. The build number may vary, but the changelog should remain the same. The company has already revealed that the latest security patch contains fixes for more than 80 vulnerabilities, including at least three critical patches.
If you’re using a Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, or Galaxy S22 Ultra, you can expect to receive a notification promoting you to download the August update in the coming days. You can tap on the notification and follow the on-screen instructions to install the latest security enhancements on your phone. You can also navigate to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check for new OTA (over the air) updates manually.
Samsung has begun beta testing the Android 14 update for Galaxy devices
As Samsung pushes the August SMR to more Galaxy devices, the company is also simultaneously beta-testing the Android 14 update. The first beta build of the big Android update, which brings the company’s One UI 6.0 custom software, is now available for the Galaxy S23 series in Germany, South Korea, and the US.
Interested Galaxy S23 users in these countries can enroll in the One UI 6.0 beta program from the Samsung Members app. The company is expected to open the beta program for more devices and expand the availability to other countries later this month. The stable update should arrive in November, if not earlier.The post Samsung pushes August update to Galaxy S22 series in the US appeared first on Android Headlines.
