New Security Patch Rolling Out for Galaxy S20 FE Across the Americas
The Galaxy S20 FE’s most recent update is now available throughout Latin America under the firmware version G780GXXS8EXA6. Simultaneously, the 5G variant of the Galaxy S20 FE, specifically the carrier-locked version in the United States, is receiving an update with firmware version G781USQSEHXA1. Both versions of the device are now equipped with the February 2024 security patch, enhancing the phones’ defenses against vulnerabilities with fixes for 72 security issues found in earlier software iterations.
While this update doesn’t introduce any new features or notable performance enhancements, it is crucial for maintaining the security and functional integrity of the devices. Users of the Galaxy S20 FE in Latin America and Galaxy S20 FE 5G in the US are advised to check their phones for the update. The update process can be initiated by going to Settings » Software update » Download and install. Those who prefer a manual approach can download the firmware file from a trusted firmware database and apply the update themselves.
Initially launched in mid-2020 with Android 10, the Galaxy S20 FE underwent several updates over the years, including Android 11 in late 2020, Android 12 in late 2021, and Android 13 in late 2022. However, the device has not received the Android 14 update, which has been rolled out to newer Galaxy models.
For users interested in the latest Android 14-based One UI 6.0, which boasts an array of new features, an upgrade to the Galaxy S23 FE would be a recommended step. For a closer look at the Galaxy S23 FE and its capabilities, you might consider checking out available video reviews online.
