Samsung’s fiery update pace continues internationally with the February 2022 security patch
Samsung has managed to stand out as one of the fastest Android OEMs to bring monthly security updates to its devices for quite a while now. When Google was still fumbling withDecemberandJanuary patchesfor its flagshipPixel 6series, Samsung was already working wonders, sending out security updates to eligible phones. While we’re expecting thePixel 6 series to get the February updateat the tail end of next week — andkeeping our fingers crossed that it doesn’t break anythingas it arrives — Samsung is already forging ahead, beginning to release its own February patch.
This time around it seems that theGalaxy Note20series is leading the way.SamMobilereports thatNote20 Ultrausers in the Netherlands are already seeing the latest firmware update arrive. We haven’t seen Samsung reveal a changelog just yet, but we’re probably looking at the regular assortment of general security improvements and bug fixes. As always, the update will be rolled out gradually to other regions and should also start hitting other eligible devices soon. You can check if it’s available for your phone by navigating to the Settings app > Software update > Download and install.
The Galaxy Note20 Ultra may be Samsung’s best phone with a built-in stylus to date — thoughthat looks set to changein just a few days. Even if it steps away from the spotlight a little now, regular security and OS updates are keeping its useful life going.
February’s update should also arrive for other Samsung flagships and mid-rangers in the coming weeks. We’ll keep this list updated as it does.
