Samsung quietly removed the Galaxy S20 series from its security updates list, which means these older flagships will no longer receive software updates. While this is not unusual for a smartphone, it’s a major moment in the life of one of the most unpopular flagships ever released by Samsung.Typically, Galaxy devices receive security updates on a monthly basis for about a year, then they move to a quarterly basis. Before reaching end-of-life status, many Galaxy devices receive just two security updates per year. However, flagships usually remain on a quarterly basis security updates scheduler until the end of the road.Although Samsung offers 7 years of software updates for the latest flagships, the older ones only get 5 or 6 years. The Galaxy S20 series is part of the former category, so it’s now been removed from the list of devices that continue to receive security updates.What appears to have been the last updates for the Galaxy S20 trio is the March 2025 security patch, which was released late last month. Keep in mind that if you own a Galaxy S20 FE, you’ll continue to receive security updates on a quarterly basis, as the phone hasn’t been removed from the software update list yet.
