Galaxy A22

Samsung recently shared its revised software update plan for July 2025. Through this updated plan, Samsung has confirmed that three Galaxy devices, the  Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G are no longer eligible for software updates.

Now, Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G have been removed from the Biannual plan in July 2025. It means that Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G devices will no longer receive software updates as they have completed their update cycle.

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G were released in 2021. Since then, these three Galaxy devices have received three major Android updates, along with regular security patches. Now, after several years of support, Samsung is officially ending updates for these Galaxy devices.

So, what does this mean for these phone and tablet users? First, don’t worry, because your tablet will still work. Even though the Korean tech giant will no longer send out new Android versions or monthly security updates, your device will still receive Google Play system updates. These updates help keep your Galaxy device secure and let you continue using important apps like banking, social media, and video streaming.

If you want the newest features and latest Android updates, you might want to upgrade to a newer Galaxy phone and tablet. You can check tablets from the Galaxy Tab A10 series, the Tab S9 series, or the Galaxy A56 5G. These new Galaxy devices offer better performance, new features, and longer support.

However, if your current devices are working well and you’re happy with them, there’s no need to upgrade right away. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G can still handle basic tasks like browsing the web, watching videos, or using social media.
