Samsung Galaxy S22 Series Reportedly Receiving One UI 6 Update Based on Android 14

Samsung Galaxy S22 series has reportedly started receiving the Android 14 update in the UK and European countries in line with the recently confirmed rollout schedule. The update brings One UI 6— the latest custom skin by the South Korean company — along with the November 2023 Android security patch to the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphones. The Android 14 update reportedly comes with firmware version S908BXXUDWK4 and is 3GB in size. The current Galaxy S23 series received the stable Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update in the last week of October.

As per multiple posts on X, One UI 6 update based on Android 14 for Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra is currently rolling out in the UK and European countries including the Netherlands. The update is said to have a size of 3GB and carry firmware version S906BXXU6DWK4, S906BOXM6DWK4 or S906BXXU6DWK4 depending on the variant and region. It also brings the November Android security patch to Galaxy S22 series handsets in the above-mentioned regions, as per the reports. 

Currently, the Galaxy S22’s stable One UI 6 build is available for beta participants. Once the rollout is complete for all beta users, it will reach devices running on Android 13. The update adds core Android 14 features alongside One UI 6 tweaks to the Galaxy S22 family. The quick settings panel and Samsung DeX will get improvements while there will be a few lock screen customisations and new camera controls. The update brings a fresh system font, new widgets, and adds a new emoji style to the Samsung keyboard.

Eligible Samsung Galaxy S22 series smartphones will receive the latest update automatically over the air. Users can also manually check for the update by heading to Settings > Software update > Download and Install. It is recommended to update the handsets while they are connected to a strong Wi-Fi network and are charging.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 trio received the update to Android 14 with One UI 6 in India and other regions in October last week. Besides the Galaxy S series flagships, Samsung is expected to seed the stable Android 14 to recent foldable smartphones and the Galaxy S23 FE by the end of this week.

Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series of smartphones was launched earlier this week and the South Korean firm’s high-end handsets have seen a few upgrades across all three models.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Series Receiving One UI 5 Stable Update, Brings New Camera Assistant App: Reports

Samsung officially unveiled the Android 13-based One UI 5 a couple of weeks ago at the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) 2022. The South Korean tech giant had not revealed the start date for the rollout of this update at the time. Reports are now suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series has started receiving this update in select countries. Disappointingly, owners of the company’s latest flagships — the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 — will seemingly have to wait for more to get the stable One UI 5 version.

According to a report by Sammobile, Samsung has begun rolling out the stable Android 13-based One UI 5 update for the Exynos 2200 SoC-powered versions of the vanilla Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The company reportedly tested the One UI 5 beta with a small user base before releasing this stable update. These beta users will reportedly receive only a small update. Meanwhile, Android 12 users are reportedly required to download over a 2GB update to get the public One UI 5 version.

The One UI 5 stable version is said to come with the firmware version S90xBXXU2BVJA. It is reportedly being rolled out in Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom.

Samsung is expected to begin rolling out this update in other European countries on Tuesday. Meanwhile, One UI 5 with firmware version S90xNKSU2BVJA is reportedly available to Galaxy S22 series users in South Korea. Other global regions are expected to get this update later this week.

The South Korean tech giant is expected to roll out the Android 13-based One UI 5 updates for all of its flagship smartphones released in 2021 and 2022 before the end of this year. Furthermore, at least one mid-range handset might also get this update.

It has also released the Camera Assistant app for Galaxy smartphones running on One UI 5. It can be downloaded via the Galaxy Store and comes as part of Samsung’s Good Lock suite of personalisation apps.

The new Camera Assistant app provides users with the option to enable or disable Auto HDR. Its Soften Pictures feature smoothes out sharp edges and textures. The app is also programmed to automatically pick the most suitable camera lens based on the zoom, lighting, and subject distance.

It also allows users to record videos in photo mode by holding the Shutter button. Users can also select the number of frames the camera captures after the timer. The Camera Assistant app is also designed to automatically turn off the camera if it is not used for two minutes.
