Samsung’s already got a day-one patch for your new Galaxy S22
The Galaxy S22 series is launching on February 25, but many of those who managed to get theirpre-order in on time got theirs a little early. For Samsung, it’s likely time to celebrate another successful phone launch, and there’s no better way to do so than with a day one update. All three models in the S22 family are getting their first patches already, complete with the February security patch.
As reported bySamMobile, the S22,S22+, andS22 Ultraare receiving a new update, starting with devices in Egypt and Afghanistan, bringing along February’s security patch to ensure the phones are up-to-date from the jump. The site expects this new firmware version, S90xEXXU1AVB3, to arrive in more regions in the coming days, with some devices shipping with the February patch pre-loaded instead.
Unfortunately, this update won’t help out with some of the bugs users have spotted so far. Earlier this week,reports of screen glitchespoured onto Reddit and other support forums. Samsung promised a fix to arrive with an upcoming patch — presumably the March update that should ship within the next week or two. Hopefully, it’ll also include a fix to help Android Auto usersstruggling to use their new phone with their car’s in-dash display.
A couple of bugs aside, it seems like the Galaxy S22 series is a hit right out of the gate. Not only have reviews been positive, but it sounds likeearly sales figures are a success as well. Despite reusing older designs from the last two years, Samsung has clearly established itself as the company to beat in the world of Android.
