    If your phone hasn’t already notified you about the update, you can check for it manually by going to Settings » Software update and clicking on the Download and install button. You can also download the firmware from our firmware database, and then flash them manually using the Odin tool.

    The Galaxy S20 series was launched with Android 10 (One UI 2.0). Samsung promised to offer three Android OS upgrades to these devices, and the company has already rolled out those updates, with the three phones now running Android 13 (One UI 5.1.1). They will not get Android 14 (One UI 6.0) update.

    If you think your Galaxy S20 is getting older and are looking at new devices, you should look at the Galaxy S23 series. Here’s our review of the phone.
