This update brings security enhancements from the May 2024 security patch to the OG Galaxy S20 lineup. As always, the Fan Edition Galaxy S20 model isn't receiving the latest update at the same time as its cousins.
The May 2024 security patch includes fixes for 45 security vulnerabilities discovered in the existing software. 33 fixes come from Google for vulnerabilities that affect all Android devices. The rest fix vulnerabilities that exclusively affect Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

The new Galaxy S20 series update made its debut in Switzerland. It should reach other markets soon, but since these phones are more than four years old at this point, it may take time for the rollout to go fully global.
Once available in your country, the update–sporting build number G98**XXSKHXEA– will automatically show up in your phone's notifications. You can also manually check for it in the phone's Settings » Software update » Download and install menu. Another way to upgrade to the latest software version is by flashing the relevant firmware that's available for download from our archives.
