Samsung’s first Fan Edition smartphone, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, is arguably the most popular and praised phone in the series. After releasing Android 13-based One UI 5.1, the company stopped offering major software updates to the device. However, it still gets security updates every month. Now, it is getting one, the July 2024 security update.Summarize in one-click with Galaxy AI
The July 2024 security patch fixes 58 security issues. Currently, Samsung is rolling it out the carrier-unlocked variant of the device for the United States (SM-G781U1). The new software update changes the phone’s firmware version to G781BXXS9HWL6. The company should start rolling it out to other variants of the phone in the next few weeks.
