Samsung is expanding the availability of its January 2023 security patch to the Galaxy S22 series in more regions.

Carrier-unlocked S22 models in the USA were the first to get this firmware update at the beginning of January, oddly enough.

More recently, the January 2023 security patch started rolling out for the SM-S90xE variants in dozens more markets, including Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria, Afghanistan, South Africa, Tunisia, Australia, Turkey, Iraq, Kenya, Israel, Egypt, the UAE, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru.

And as you can probably tell by the second “S” letter in that string, this is purely a security patch that doesn’t add any new One UI features.

If you have a Galaxy S22 in one of the markets mentioned above and you’re getting the January 2023 update, you’ll notice that the changelog won’t go into detail as to what Samsung and Google have patched.

And in short, Android OS gets over 50 “high vulnerability” fixes, and One UI is getting a few patches of its own concerning Secure Folder, NFC, Samsung Knox, and other features.
