  • Samsung has reinstated the Galaxy Note 20 series to monthly security updates.
  • Earlier this week, the Galaxy S20 series and Note 20 series were demoted to quarterly security updates.
  • The Galaxy S20 FE will also continue receiving monthly security updates.

Samsung has built a reputation for providing some of the best software support among Android phone makers, but things weren’t always this good.

Samsung’s 2020 flagships, including the Galaxy S20 series, have already received their final major Android OS updates. However, they were still included in the monthly security update cycle until recently. A few days ago, Samsung finally demoted them to quarterly security updates — a typical step as devices reach the end of their software support lifecycle.
