Samsung’s September 2022 security patch is finally reaching the unlocked Galaxy S20 in the US
Samsung has been doing a pretty good job as far as updates go. The company is currently hard at work testingOne UI 5, based onAndroid 13, on itslatest and greatest phones. And while that big release has yet to arrive, the company is also keeping its current firmware updated. Carrier-locked phones often take longer to get updates than unlocked variants. As such, Samsung began rolling out itsSeptember security patchto its unlocked smartphones, a week behind schedule. Now, it’s doing the same for the carrier variants of its phones.

The update is based onOne UI 4.1.1, which rolled out last week — and actually broughtAndroid 12L-specific changes with it for some large-screen phones. It comes with fixes for over two dozen vulnerabilities, so it’s probably a good idea to install it. We don’t know if the update also includes other minor changes or optimizations that aren’t mentioned in the changelog, but if there are, you probably won’t notice them once you’ve updated.
If you want to keep your phone secure, you should update your phone whenever the new release arrives to your phone. If you don’t see it right now, it could take a few days to show up, or you might need to download another update first. As we mentioned before, One UI 5 is still in beta testing — on its second beta, to be precise — so hopefully, it won’t be much longer before its stable version arrives. As always, we’ll keep this post updated as more devices get the September patch.
