Following the release of One UI 8 based on Android 16 for the Galaxy S25 family in mid-September, it reached the older Galaxy S23 devices late last month. Now it’s finally also made its way to the Galaxy S22 family.
The update has so far been spotted in Türkiye, with build version S90xBXXUIGYI7. It arrives over-the-air as a 3.1GB download, and includes the September 1, 2025 security patches.

Interestingly, the S22 devices were promised to receive four major Android updates. Since they launched with Android 12 on board, this update will be the last major one they ever get, unless Samsung changes its mind – but it most likely won’t.
The S22 family will still receive security patches for a while, but that’s it for the models launched in 2022. Thankfully, Samsung has an extended support window now, so if you buy a new flagship it will be covered with major Android updates for seven years.
