Customers confirmed the rollout of the update on Samsung Europe’s community forums and Reddit (via Android Authority). While there’s no official changelog present, users are reportedly witnessing general performance improvements, better battery, and smoother animations. Given the nature of such updates, we can also expect fixes for some older bugs. Depending on the variant, customers can expect the update to arrive with firmware version S90xBXXU1AVDA or S90xBOXM1AVDA. If you don’t see the update notification yet, be sure to head over to Settings – Software update and tap Download and install to pull the update manually. The update weighs around 485MB. The Galaxy S22 series received its April 2022 update earlier this month, promising to fix a few pertinent issues. Samsung said the update would improve performance on the Galaxy S22 View Cover. The company also introduced some camera-related improvements with this particular update, including a faster camera app.
Samsung’s April 2022 security update fixed the notorious “Dirty Pipe” exploit
Multiple users have complained about audio-video sync issues on all three models of the Galaxy S22 lineup. Meanwhile, Galaxy S22 Ultra owners have reported GPS-related issues with the device. Since Samsung hasn’t provided a changelog with the most recent update, it’s unclear whether these bugs have been patched. The flagship Galaxy S22 Ultra experienced a rocky few weeks after its February launch. Many customers reported a horizontal line on the screen whenever playing a YouTube video or while unlocking the device with the fingerprint scanner. Thankfully, the manufacturer quickly acknowledged this bug and eventually sent out an update. In short, the first few days of the Galaxy S22 lineup were far from perfect. Display issues are particularly concerning given that Samsung is known for its high-quality AMOLED panels. But there’s good news. Samsung’s April 2022 Security Maintenance Release (SMR) promised to patch around 88 existing Android 12 vulnerabilities. This update also fixes the infamous “Dirty Pipe” exploit that left flagships like the Galaxy S22 and the Pixel 6 vulnerable to remote hacking and data theft.
