Hi. Why is Telus not updating S22 Ultra with OneUI 5.1 on the Feb. 14 target date?

Thank you for sharing this.

The next S22 Ultra update falls on Feb 21st. For what it's worth, we only call out major operating system updates. Skin updates - such as OneUI - generally fall under the blanket "optimization" category which encompasses a broad range of other user experience updates (aka optimization).

Is this a staged rollout for the S22 Ultra or has the update been delayed. We're almost end of day and I haven't seen anything available yet.

It's a callout we make at the top of our software update cycle article - the release date is when it starts rolling out. It's staggered so a full rollout can take a few weeks.

Oh wow...a date of Feb. 21 doesn't mean starting on such and possibly taking weeks. By then, their may be a UI 9.0 or S32. I'll proceed with downloading and updating firmware from SamMobile

I'm pretty sure the rollout is delayed or an incorrect date listed. At least one other carrier has a date of Feb 22nd for this one and on SamMobile there aren't any new firmware available since Dec for any Canadian carriers.

I don't understand why Samsung still relies on carrier delivery of the update. It should be straight OTA. Even with my BYOD device have to wait for the carriers to release it.

Hi. SamMobile has the firmware available to download tomorrow Feb. 22.
