Samsung extends software support for the Galaxy S20 series

Sagar, 10 April 2024

The Samsung Galaxy S20 series comprising Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra will no longer get monthly security updates since they are past Samsung's promised software support timeline. However, Samsung hasn't entirely dropped software support for these phones since it will continue to release security patches for them for some time.

The Korean brand has moved the S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra to a quarterly update schedule and will release security updates for these phones every three months. However, it's unclear how long this S20 trio will continue to receive security patches from Samsung.

It remains to be seen if Samsung will extend software support for the S20 FE by moving it to the quarterly update schedule or end it altogether after it completes its four-year software support cycle.
