The Galaxy S22 just got a new shot at Android 17, thanks to LineageOS
LineageOS 23 arrives on Galaxy S22, opening doors to an unofficial Android 17 update.
The Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra have received support for LineageOS 23, enabling the devices to run Android 16. This development comes as Samsung officially discontinued major OS upgrades for the S22 series, having excluded it from their One UI 8.5 roadmap. However, the emergence of LineageOS support on the S22 models has opened up a new avenue for users to unofficially access Android 17.
Despite being launched in 2022, the S22 series still maintains its capability to handle daily tasks. Nonetheless, Samsung's decision to stop the One UI 9 update for the entire S22 lineup effectively signifies that One UI 8 was the last major OS upgrade for the family.
