And it seems Samsung realized the extent to which the last update caused issues on the Galaxy S20 Ultra: It has now taken the latest firmware for the device off the air. If you hadn't already downloaded the latest update — software version G988xXXU1ATCT — on your phone, you will probably not be able to download it now, either over the air or through Samsung's Smart Switch software for Windows and Mac.
It's unclear if the removal of the Galaxy S20 Ultra's firmware from Samsung's servers is related to the issues that have come to the fore, since firmware for the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ (both the LTE and 5G variants) are still online. The actual reason may be something else, and all we can do is hope that the next update will bring an end to all the problems once and for all.
As we told you recently, Samsung is working on a software update to fix the display's green tint issue. We don't know when that update will come out, though we're assuming Samsung will take as long as it needs to perfect the next firmware release before pushing it out to customers so it can avoid further criticism.
Abhijeet's writing career started with guides for custom firmware for Samsung devices (including the original Galaxy S), and he moved to SamMobile in mid-2013 and worked up the ranks to Editor-in-chief. In addition to phones and mobile devices, his interests include gaming on both PC and console, PC hardware, and spending countless hours on YouTube watching videos on tech, movies, games, politics, and internet dramas.
