Galaxy Note 20 & S20 FE grab February 2024 update in the US

0 24


Samsung is rolling out the February 2024 Android security patch to a few more Galaxy devices in the US. The new security update is available for the Galaxy Note 20 series and the Galaxy S20 FE 5G stateside. The company has already updated over a dozen other models to the latest security patch. It patches 69 vulnerabilities, including three critical ones.

The Galaxy Note 20 series gets Samsung’s February update in the US

Samsung is updating both carrier-locked and unlocked variants of the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to the February 2024 SMR (Security Maintenance Release) in the US. The new firmware build numbers for the last Note-branded phones are N981USQS6HXA1 and N981U1UES6HXA1, respectively. The update doesn’t bring anything more than this month’s security fixes.

As of this writing, the new security patch isn’t available to the Galaxy Note 20 lineup in any other region, not even to the 4G/LTE models (4G models weren’t sold in the US). However, it shouldn’t be long before Samsung pushes the latest SMR to the devices globally. The phones are already done getting feature updates—they didn’t receive Android 14. Security updates should come for at least a few more months.

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G, meanwhile, is picking up the February SMR in the US as well as some international markets. In Latin America, to be precise. The US rollout is limited to carrier-locked variants, with the device getting the build number G781USQSEHXA1 with the update. In Latin America, it comes with firmware version G780GXXS8EXA6. Regardless of the build number or region, the update is all about the latest security fixes.

Once again, the 4G model is missing the update. Hopefully, Samsung won’t keep users waiting much longer. The company should soon update all eligible Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20 FE units to the February SMR globally. You will get a notification once the update reaches your Samsung device. You can also manually check for updates from the Settings app that comes pre-loaded on the phone.

The February SMR patches three critical Android OS vulnerabilities

Every month, Google rolls out a new security patch for Android devices. Samsung takes Google’s Android OS patches, adds a few Galaxy-specific patches, and pushes it to Galaxy devices as a new SMR. This month, it is pushing eight Galaxy patches along with 61 Android OS fixes from Google, three of which are labeled as critical issues. Make sure to update your phone to the latest security patch whenever available.
