Samsung is rolling out the February 2022 security update, the second of the year, to many of its phones and tablets; here’s the full list.
After a great start to the new year update schedule, Samsung has started rolling out the February 2022 security update to selected Galaxy devices from January 28. Here’s every device that has been updated so far. It’s actually not yet clear just what issues Samsung has addressed in the February update at this stage, but we do expect to learn more very soon. The Korean firm regularly provides details on what fixes and security flaws have been patched in regular security bulletins. At least for now, the latest patch is a mystery. The current pool of Samsung Galaxy smartphones with the very latest and greatest security update is quite small, but it is constantly expanding by device and region. While we often associate update speed to the most recent flagship smartphones, it was the Galaxy Note 20 that was updated first on January 28. We’re going to see the Galaxy S22 series at some point in February 2022, but the existing S-series smartphones are getting the latest security update. For those with the Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra, the February security update is rolling out in the United Kingdom right now. The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra are now receiving the latest security update in the United States with the Qualcomm-powered Samsung trio seeing the patches the very same day that the Galaxy S22 has launched. LTE-powered Galaxy S20 FE models have since been updated to encompass all but one of the S20 series after rolling out in vast swathes of mainland Europe from February 16. Conversely, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 in all regions but it’s the US that is first to get the update for the cut-price flagship as of February 18. Although launched just prior to the S20 series hit store shelves, the Galaxy S10 Lite is also getting updated with the latest security patch in a number of European nations including Austria, Bulgaria, France, Hungary, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, the Baltics, and the Nordics. One could easily make the case for the Z Fold series being the premier Samsung smartphone lineup but that hasn’t been the case with regard to updates this month.
