Samsung is known as the undisputed king of software updates because the company promises to provide 4 years of updates to all the Galaxy smartphones. True to its words, the South Korean tech giant is now reportedly delivering stable Android 12 updates to the two mid-range phones, dubbed Galaxy A22 and Galaxy A41. The new update includes a new UI design, upgraded stock apps, some new functions, and enhanced privacy and security.

The Android 12 update for the Samsung Galaxy A22 and Galaxy A41 smartphones apparently comes with firmware versions A225FXXU3BVD8 and A415FXXU1DVDB, respectively. It is now being rolled out in Russia and is expected to expand to other nations in the coming weeks.

As reported by Sammobile, the Android 12 update for the Galaxy A22 includes a redesigned UI with the Color Palette feature, improved widget designs, more lock screen widgets, and improved Dark Mode. The Galaxy A21 also receives upgraded versions of Samsung’s stock apps, including Bixby, Bixby Routines, Calendar, My Files, Samsung Internet, and Samsung Keyboard. The Camera and Device Care applications have also been tidied up. The update also carries the April 2022 security patch.

The publications revealed that the Android 12 update for the Samsung Galaxy A41 also includes the April 2022 security patch, which is said to address 88 privacy and security flaws.

Samsung has improved the privacy and security of both smartphones by introducing features like Privacy Dashboard, and quick setting toggles to enable or disable camera and microphone access. Moreover, the company has also added privacy indicators for camera and microphone usage.

What’s surprising is that the Galaxy A22 will also receive an Android 13 update at some point next year, however, Android 12 marks the endgame of updates for the Galaxy A41.

If you own the aforementioned Galaxy smartphones and live in Russia, you can download the latest update by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Samsung will release the update in more regions in a few weeks.
