Galaxy S22
Do unlocked phones that switch carries get some updates blocked? Specially s22 Ultra. Can't seem to find any info anywhere.

Galaxy S22It all depends on when your carrier decides to push the update to your phone

No, having an unlocked variant and your update schedule are not exactly intertwined, but being unlocked has the advantage of participating in beta roll outs. For example, a locked T-Mobile phone won't get any beta invitations, while the unlocked version on that same carrier will. If you want fast updates go with T-Mobile or one of it's subsidiaries. AT&T and Verizon are typically on the slower end, in terms of pushing updates. As Gary said, it's Carrier dependent, I just thought I'd add which are faster/slower. I always go unlocked and stick with T-Mobile on 1 of my 2 phones. I get updates and beta opportunities lickety-split, then switch the SIM card to my other phone, prompting the updates or beta enrollment on that one as well 😉
