According to sammobile, devices launched in 2021 may only provide two AI functions, one is instant search and the other is magic rewriting; devices launched in 2022 will support all functions except “instant slow motion.” This move may be based on chip performance considerations.

The AI functions of Galaxy S23 series and Fold5 attached for your reference:

Phone: Get real-time translation during voice calls;

Samsung Keyboard: Change your writing style and get spelling and grammar suggestions;

Simultaneous interpretation: real-time translation of spoken dialogue, which can be output as voice or text;

According to a screenshot posted by user Rydah, his U.S. Galaxy S22 Ultra got the second update in January. But unfortunately, this update is still based on OneUI 5.0, not the OneUI 5.1 system that Samsung tested internally.

The Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphones get firmware version numbers S901U1UES2BWA2, S906U1UES2BWA2 and S908U1UES2BWA2 respectively in January 2023. The update’s installer size is the package size of the update is 353.78MB.

The new update for the Samsung Galaxy S22 improves the overall stability and security of the smartphone to enhance the performance of its device. In addition, it fixes some minor issues that you found in the previous firmware version.

On the other hand, Samsung is testing another massive update – One UI 5.1 update for the Galaxy S22 smartphone, which is expected to be released after the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event in February.

Samsung Galaxy S22 OneUI 5.0 update timeline

The firmware comes with Android 13 and a slew of features, including deeper Material You integration, improved Dynamic theming and a new Dynamic lock screen, improved widget stacking, multi-user support for the first time on Samsung, and new clever multitasking gestures like double-swiping from the bottom for quick split-screen and swipe from the top right corner for pop-up view.

If Android 13 were to be released in October, it would be available one month sooner than the Galaxy S21 series’ OneUI 4 update from last year, which itself arrived over a month earlier than OneUI 3.0 did on the Galaxy S20 series in December of 2020. Samsung has sent the OneUI 5 Beta 4 to the Galaxy S22 series, although it’s not obvious if this is the final version until the final firmware is released. By the end of October, OneUI 5 will be available for the Galaxy S22 series, but there will undoubtedly be some market-specific differences.

The One UI 5.0 upgrade for the Galaxy S22 is anticipated to exit the beta stage and go live later this month, Samsung said at SDC. Since October is almost halfway over, it won’t be long until everyone can take advantage of this new upgrade.

At least, that’s what Samsung thinks. In a new ad for the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Z Flip4, Samsung says it wants you to believe this: “This innovation won’t be on the iPhone next to you.”

"Get ready for the release of Apple's new phone, and you'll enter a world of looking back, just not in your direction. The highest resolution camera on a smartphone will be in someone's pocket. And that much-lauded epic moon shot feature is not for you. Because that innovation isn't coming to an iPhone near you any time soon. It's already on the Galaxy phone."

Samsung often mocks Apple before new product releases, such as in 2017 when Samsung mocked the iPhone X’s bangs, the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack, and many other flaws. Although, Samsung followed up with these same programs and features that it once mocked.

The One UI 5.0 beta was built on top of Android 13 and the new update does bring a lot of new features, although not a lot of cosmetic changes. Simply put, in Android 13, Google is focused on keeping the focus on security rather than going for another cosmetic overhaul, and the update is currently rolling out to users in Germany.

Galaxy S22 users in Germany can finally sign up for the Android-13-based One UI 5.0 beta program

Samsung still hasn’t detailed everything about One UI 5.0, but the Galaxy Unpacked launch is likely to have a lot of updates to offer by then, and an official announcement about the beta program should come later this week.

The One UI 5.0 beta does bring some changes from the looks of it as well, such as the notification center now has larger app icons, a translucent background design has been added, the app permission pop-ups have been changed, full optical character recognition has been added, and the speed and smoothness of animations have been significantly improved.

As expected, the One UI 5.0 beta will be rolled out in phases and is currently only available for the Galaxy S22 series. We hope that over time, Samsung will extend support for the latest update to other phones.

Zhenpheng Lin, a PhD student at Northwestern University who focuses on Linux kernel security, has discovered a new vulnerability in the Galaxy S22 and Pixel 6 phones.

This is a zero-day vulnerability in the kernel that could also crack the Google Pixel 6 and Galaxy S22. However, it could also happen in the Pixel 6 Pro, as well as any kernel v5.10-based device.
With the latest exploit, an attacker could gain read and write access to implement the ability to disable SELinux, so theoretically, if your Galaxy S22 or Google Pixel 6 were to come under such an attack, the hacker would have the option to compromise the operating system, as well as the device’s built-in security permissions.

Lin also mentioned that the vulnerability is not limited to cell phones, as the general Linux kernel is also affected by the same. He also pointed out that Android devices with security updates in July are also vulnerable to this vulnerability.

Researchers are learning about the program that reported the vulnerability to Google and then waiting for a fix, which will take several months to resolve. In the meantime, all Galaxy S22 and Pixel 6 users, as well as Android users in general, are advised not to install any apps you don’t trust from the Play Store, and sideloading apps should be even more so.

There are usually a few unique features that come with each new Galaxy S model. However, only a few of these features are reliant on the device’s advanced hardware, so even older models may be able to benefit from them. The updates will roll out by this month. Additionally, a few of the older models will get the updated camera features only by the month of June.

Improved night portrait

Using the telephoto lens on a Galaxy S22 phone and Portrait Mode, you can capture stunning night images. The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Z Fold 2, and Galaxy Z Fold 3 will all have this feature.

Improved auto-framing feature

Users can zoom in and out and crop things automatically to get multiple objects in the frame in a good spot. This feature is currently available on Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series. The Galaxy S21 will soon feature the same.

Video call app extension support and auto-framing effects

Video calling apps like Duo, Google Meet, Knox Meeting, Messenger (Meta), Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Zoom, BlueJeans, Webex Meetings, and KakaoTalk will have the ability to use custom backgrounds. This will include microphone controls too. Additionally, Samsung promises to include its auto-framing feature for video calls too.

The Galaxy S20 and S21 families will receive this support. Their respective FE variants, the Galaxy Note 20 series, all Galaxy Z Flip models, and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Fold 3 will all receive this too. In addition, Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and Note 10 smartphones will have the feature by the end of June.

Camera quality improvements for third-party cameras and social apps

Samsung will enable the use of its camera system for the optimisation of third party social media apps. This includes apps like TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, etc. Additionally, the update will be available on the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3.
