A new software update has commenced its rollout for the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra smartphones. This update delivers the crucial June 2025 security patch to Samsung's flagship lineup, which, despite being three years old, continues to receive timely updates. Currently, the first market to benefit from this update is Korea, but we anticipate that Samsung will expand the rollout to other regions in the coming days.
Aside from the latest security fixes, this software update will not introduce any new features or make significant changes to your device. However, for users experiencing bugs with One UI 7.0, this update may resolve those issues, although confirmation will come only after installation.
If you wish to download this update on your Galaxy S22 device, navigate to the Settings menu, then tap on Software update, and select Download and install. Alternatively, advanced users can opt to download the Galaxy S22 firmware from SamMobile and install it on their device using a Windows PC.
Looking ahead, the next software update for the Galaxy S22 lineup is not expected to be One UI 8 (Android 16). Although Samsung is working diligently to expedite the release of One UI 8, we do not expect the rollout to start before August. This upcoming major update will mark the final significant operating system upgrade for the Galaxy S22 series.
After the anticipated arrival of One UI 8, there is a possibility that the Galaxy S22 lineup will receive One UI 8.5. This version is expected to debut on the upcoming Galaxy S26, likely in the first half of 2026. However, users should prepare for a shift to receiving only security updates following this period.
In conclusion, while the latest update enhances security for Galaxy S22 users, the excitement continues to build for future updates, particularly One UI 8 and beyond.
