Galaxy S22 receives January 2023 update in Australia
Samsung is back again with January 2023 security update. This time company is rolling out the update for the Galaxy S22 series devices in Australia. However, the device has already received the same update in various regions, including Brazil, the US and Europe.
It is also worth noting that the Korean giant has released the second update under the January 2023 update. However, now the company is present with the first update for the Australian region, users can identify the latest update by the firmware version number S901EXXS2BWA2, S906EXXS2BWA2, and S908EXXS2BWA2 for Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra respectively.
As said earlier, the update brings the January 2023 security patch, which fixes several security vulnerabilities. The security update is a regular monthly update that Google releases for Android smartphones, but if we talk about Galaxy devices, Samsung has added some more security patches with Google, which are exclusively available for its devices.
Moreover, the update doesn’t include any new features; it’s only focused on enhancing the security of the device. It may also carry some minor features that enhance the performance and stability of the device.
We are now at the end of April, but Samsung is still expanding the monthly update for the devices, even though it has rapidly distributed the update to almost all of them. This is due to server limitations, and now the company is rolling out the update for the Galaxy M33 5G and Galaxy A23 5G.
Notably, the Galaxy M33 5G and Galaxy A23 5G are getting an April 2024 security patch update with the firmware version numbers M336BXXS7DXD1 and A236BXXU5DXD6, respectively. With the latest update, these devices don’t get any significant changes but will enhance their security.
For your information, the April 2024 security patch update provides more than 40 fixes, whereas Google has added 27 fixes that address issues related to the Android OS. Meanwhile, Samsung has also added 17 more fixes that will improve the functioning of the Galaxy devices.
You can check for the latest update by going to the system software update via system settings. The April 2024 update will protect users against external threats that can harm important data and provide a seamless experience while using any feature.
If you haven’t received the update on your devices yet, then you should have to wait some more time. Sometimes it takes time to provide every unit of the device. However, once the update becomes available.
Samsung has recently introduced a new software update for multiple devices; however, initially it was spotted on the high-end devices belonging to the Galaxy S series and Galaxy Z series. Now, with the latest development, the company has started rolling out the update to several Galaxy A series devices.
According to the information, Samsung has made a significant software update live for the Galaxy A55, Galaxy A35, Galaxy A54, Galaxy A34, Galaxy A25, Galaxy A15 5G, and A15 4G. It is worth noting that the update has been detected in the European region and is expected to be limited to that only.
According to the latest update, the device will now support the 4G TDD band. However, Samsung has not provided any details about how this feature will benefit Galaxy device users. Based on my observations, it appears that the update will enhance stability and speed on the 4G network.
Here’s the build Numbers:
- Galaxy A55 5G – A556BXXU1AXC4
- Galaxy A35 5G – A356BXXU1AXBB
- Galaxy A34 5G – A346BXXU6BXD2
- Galaxy A25 5G – A256BXXU1AXC8
- Galaxy A15 5G – A156BXXU1AXC4
- Galaxy A15 4G – A155FXXU1AXC4
The company has stated that devices purchased in Germany and used in other countries, such as Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, will not function in the 4G TDD band.
If you are using any of the above-mentioned smartphones in Europe, then you should start getting new updates. To install them on your device, simply go to the software update menu via the system settings, wait for the update, and then hide the download button that appears.
Samsung’s flagship device, the Galaxy S24, boasts all-new high-end hardware and software functionalities, but it still has some flaws, particularly in the camera department.
To improve the camera functionality, it has already introduced some updates, such as the April 2024 security patch update, which introduced many fixes and improvements. Now the company is planning to introduce one camera enhancement update.
Previously, the camera enhancement was supposed to be available with the May 2024 security patch update, but now, according to a popular tipter, @universeice, it is delayed and could be available for users in June.
However, there is no reason for the delay. Samsung might prefer to concentrate on rolling out the One UI 6.1 update to all eligible devices in May.
As of now, there is no information available about what will come with the camera enhancement update. Along with this, it may also include some new features that will improve the overall performance and security of the devices.
