Samsung January 2022 Security Patch

On December 30 last year, Samsung debuted its January 2022 security patch, while the mid-range Galaxy A51 became the first to grab it. Later on, the company expanded its availability to more select Galaxies, however, the January 2022 security patch details are now available on the official Samsung support page.

While Samsung is currently busy upgrading eligible smartphones to the major Android 12-based One UI 4.0 software, it’s not forgetting to provide regular security updates as well as Android patches. Do note that, the latest patch’s content is mentioned below.

However, rivals from China are also trying to match Samsung’s software update support lead by releasing the new security patch content earlier than before. Still, they (even the Android maker) are far behind when it comes to releasing new security updates in advance.

Speaking about the Android 12 update, Samsung rolled out the new One UI 4.0 to all compatible flagship Galaxy devices including the Galaxy S21, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy S10, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3 and old foldable.

Samsung One UI 7 Beta November

Samsung is reportedly going to start the One UI 7 Beta Program for Galaxy S24 users in mid-November 2024. Notably, at SDC24, the company officially announced to make the Beta update available at the end of this year for developers. But What does One UI 7 Beta mean for you?

Samsung has already created a special page on its US community for the One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S24. In addition, there’s also a forum page for the Galaxy S23, which suggests that more users will have the opportunity to join the beta.

Some reliable tipsters have also hinted that the beta could start within a couple of weeks, which means we’re getting closer. The Beta Program is a great opportunity for users to explore new features and help Samsung improve the software before the major update release.

Keep in mind that not everyone may be able to join the beta. In past years, the program has been limited to users in countries like India, South Korea, the US, Germany, the UK, and some more.

However, it’s still unclear whether Samsung will release the One UI 7 Beta update first for developers or also for flagship devices. While Samsung hasn’t confirmed the exact release date for the One UI 7 beta, several leaks suggest it could launch in mid-November.

So, are you ready to explore the One UI 7 beta? While you wait for the official launch, make sure to stay tuned for updates and prepare your device to enjoy the new features!

Samsung One UI 7 to bring iOS 18-like lock screen media player UI

Samsung highlights 1.2.15

Samsung could bring iOS 18-like media player UI to One UI 7 lock screen. The major interface revamp could replace the current layout with a larger one. The major update is set to be released for Galaxy devices early next year.

According to Ice Universe, One UI 7 could adopt a revamped lock screen media player UI. The current stake will be replaced with a brand-new design. It could be inspired by Apple’s iOS 18, which occupies a large portion of the lock screen.

One UI 7’s lock screen media player design could feature the thumbnail in a large square. The track progress bar and other buttons could be followed in a separate overlay. The blur setup will decide how cool the UI revamp looks on Galaxy lock screens.

iOS-equivalent interface is a long-due demand of Galaxy fans. Samsung is seemingly on a mission to offer very significant design tweaks with the One UI 7. We’ve already heard a lot about the refreshed quick settings and notification panel.

Apart from the new media player UI, the next One UI update will bring brand new quick settings and a notification panel. Fruitful functional refinements have also been made to enhance the overall user experience.

The company’s developers are also ensuring smoother animations. The end result would be comparable to Apple’s iOS, reports say. Galaxy AI is also said to add several new features and deeper integration with the applications.

Samsung could launch the Beta Program this month. The Stable update rollout will only start after the unveiling of the Galaxy S25 series. Phase I devices for Beta and Stable include S24, S23, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 5, and Z Flip 5.
