  • The Samsung Galaxy S22 series and the Galaxy Note 20 are now receiving the August security update.
  • Of the 50 fixes listed in the Samsung changelog, most are high-priority, and one is critical.
  • The patch is also available to some carrier-locked Galaxy S23 devices.

The August security update for Samsung phones is rolling out quickly, reflecting its importance. Following its arrival to the Galaxy S24 range and some of the Galaxy Fold models last week, it is now available for some years-old former flagships in the US.

As reported by SamMobile, the update is now available for the Samsung Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra, as well as the Galaxy Note 20. It also got a wider rollout to the Galaxy S23 series to include carrier-locked models. The networks that have already received the update for the S23 include Comcast, Dish, T-Mobile, and Xfinity Mobile.
