The Galaxy A72 is now receiving the July 2022 Android security patch from Samsung. In Asia and Latin America, the premium mid-range smartphone from last year is getting the newest security patch. In the next days, the deployment should expand to additional markets including Europe.
The Galaxy A72’s July SMR (Security Maintenance Release) is now available in Asia with firmware version A725FXXU4BVG1. The update is currently available in available to users in Russia and India, but it should soon be available in other nations in the area. The phone’s camera has received upgrades, according to the official changelog. In addition to this month’s vulnerability fixes, the device will also receive some system stability upgrades.
Meanwhile, the most recent update for the Galaxy A72 in Latin America doesn’t include any new features. The only security updates are for Samsung’s premium mid-ranger 2021 model. The update, which has the firmware version A725MUBS4BVE4, is currently generally accessible in the area. We can vouch for the deployment in a number of other nations, including Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina.

Contacts, Messages, App Lock, and other essential services were some of the key services that were impacted by some of those security weaknesses. The most recent version also includes three crucial fixes for three Google-reported severe vulnerabilities in the Android OS.
These vulnerability updates have now started to trickle out to Samsung’s Galaxy M53 and Galaxy M62 smartphones in addition to the Galaxy A72. Although these M-series devices are less common than A-series models, if you own one of the two models described above, the most recent security update is on its way. From the Software update area of the Settings app, you may check for updates.
There may be fewer security updates for the Galaxy A72 in the future. The Galaxy A72 was introduced by Samsung in March of last year. The company has scheduled a security upgrade for the device every three months. While the upgrades have typically arrived more regularly than once every three months and the device has seldom missed a monthly patch, this may change in the future. As the Galaxy A72 ages, security upgrades will probably come less regularly.
