Galaxy S22 series snaps up March Android update as phones on sale

Samsung is clearly trying to impress its loyal customers.

What you need to know

• Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra phones are now receiving the March 1, 2022 security update.
• The update comes with a build number ending in AVBH, which means Samsung is the first company to roll out the security patch.
• Although unconfirmed, this patch resolves the display issues that have persisted on international Galaxy S22 Ultra models.

If you’re the proud owner of a brand new Samsung Galaxy S22, your pride will inflate even further. Samsung has started rolling out the March 2022 Android security update to its latest line of phones, making them the first phones in the world to get the March update.

It’s entirely possible that this patch will be rolled out early to address a display glitch bug that was causing issues for some early adopters of the international version of the Galaxy S22 Ultra with Samsung’s Exynos processors.

Beyond that, Samsung hasn’t released a detailed changelog for the March Update, but it may only contain bug fixes and patches for common vulnerabilities brought on by security updates.

If getting the March update at the end of February sounds crazy, don’t worry, that’s how Samsung works in general. Many of the best Android phones get monthly security updates, but Samsung tends to be one of the first, if not the first, to roll out these timely updates. Our AT&T Galaxy S22 Ultra review unit has been updated with a build number ending in AVBH.

The update will soon be available for all Galaxy S22 models, including the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra. If you have a Galaxy S22 and haven’t received an update notification, open System Settings, scroll down to the Software Updates section, and select Check for Updates.

If you want to see if it has been updated, go back to the main system settings menu, scroll down to About phone, select Software info, then scroll to the bottom and check the date in the Android Security Patch Level section.it should read March 1, 2022 If you have received an update.
