Samsung Android July 2022 Firmware – Here what’s new & who will receive it
Samsung earlier this year committed to a Software Distribution 4-year Policy by offering up to four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades on select Galaxy devices.
July has now come to life, and Samsung, one of the companies most attentive to the issue of updates, has already kicked off the release of this month’s update for the various smartphones in its portfolio.
SMR is a maintenance release for major flagship models as part of the monthly Security Maintenance Release (SMR) process. This includes patches from Google and Samsung, mostly for security and privacy purposes.
What’s new
As for the part that Google does, the July security patches introduce the fix for 23 vulnerabilities, three of which are critical (one related to a flaw in the modem software, which made it possible to crash the remote modem).
Moving on to the update part relating to the Samsung interface, according to what we learned, it includes 41 fixes that concern the security of Samsung Galaxy devices.
However, in some cases, frequent operating system upgrades may cause delays in scheduled security updates, but operating system upgrades will include security patches, and updated frameworks when distributed.
Delivery times for security patches may vary by region and model. Some fixes received from chipset vendors (also known as device-specific fixes) may not be included in the monthly security update package and will be bundled along with security update packages when prepared.

Samsung has introduced the May 2024 security patch update for several Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S23 series, and Galaxy S22 series. Now, the latest development company has released the update for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 devices.
