Samsung shared a security patch for its two budget-friendly models in April as an interim update. The update, which started to spread in Europe, is slowly being distributed to the rest of the world. If you have these models, go to your settings and check for updates.
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S23 FE will receive security updates in April
Firstly, the update, which is valid for both LTE and 5G variants of the Galaxy S20 FE model with a Snapdragon processor, carries the build numbers G780GXXS9EXC6 and G781BXXSAHXC6.
Galaxy S20 FE is Samsung’s first Galaxy S series phone designed for fans. This model, which was released in late 2020, is the only Samsung Galaxy S20 model that still receives monthly security updates. Other models, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra, moved to a three-month security update schedule after completing their four-year market period.
Galaxy S20 FE started to receive quarterly updates along with other models, but this was fixed as an error. The S20 FE, which will currently receive monthly updates for at least five more months, will reach the same update frequency as its siblings when it turns four.
Apple will no longer depend on China for iPhone production
Apple is preparing to reduce its dependence on China; Now the company will produce one out of every seven iPhones in another country.
On the other hand, the Galaxy S23 FE model, which has an Exynos processor, started to receive security updates in April. This update upgrades the device’s security patch to April 1, 2024 and carries the build number S711BXXS2CXD1.
If the update is available, it can be downloaded wirelessly from your device’s Settings » Software update » Download and install menu. The update can also be done using an alternative method by downloading the full firmware file of the update and installing it on the device via a Windows PC.
The focus of the updates for both models is security improvements. So if you own these devices and Samsung has sent out the update for April, don’t forget to do so.
