Samsung‘s April update is quickly spreading to all eligible models worldwide. The company has just released the latest security patch for the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S20 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy A52 in several global markets. Most of these devices have already received the update in the US.
The Galaxy S22 series gets the April update globally
Yesterday, Samsung released the April SMR (Security Maintenance Release) for the US versions of the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra. The update is now rolling out in Europe. It comes with the firmware build number S90*BXXS8DXD2. Users in other regions such as Latin America, Africa, Australia, and Asia should also soon receive the update.
This new SMR comes without any additional goodies. The 2022 Samsung flagships are picking up 40-odd security fixes and nothing more. They will get AI features and other improvements with the One UI 6.1 update in May. The Korean firm has already confirmed that the Galaxy S22 series will get most of the new AI features found on the Galaxy S24 lineup.
This month’s security patch is also rolling out to the Galaxy S20 FE, which is done getting feature updates. The rollout has begun in Europe. Both 4G and 5G versions of the phone are getting the update. According to SamMobile, the new build numbers are G780GXXS9EXC6 and G781BXXSAHXC6, respectively. A global rollout should follow soon.
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 3, which have already received the April SMR in the US, are also now getting it in other regions. The update for the former is available globally with the build number F721BXXS5EXD1. The latter, meanwhile, is currently only picking up the new security patch in Europe. The new build number for this phone is F926BXXS6GXD1.
Note that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 have received this update in several global markets recently. If you haven’t got it wait, fret not. Samsung will gradually cover all units. This applies to other Galaxy devices as well. Since updates are released in batches, some users may receive them later than others. The changelogs mostly remain unchanged.
The Galaxy A52s is also getting the April SMR
The Galaxy A52s is another Samsung phone that recently started picking up the April SMR. This phone had a limited release (didn’t arrive in the US) and the company is currently updating it in Europe. You will get the update with firmware version A528BXXS7FXC8. The device will get One UI 6.1 in May or June, though it is unlikely to get new AI features.
