The Galaxy S20 series, which Samsung released in 2020, has not been able to benefit from the big operating system updates for a long time. Despite this, Samsung is trying to make the software resistance of these models with security patches sustainable. Finally, the March 2025 security update was started to be distributed within this framework. The update includes the Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra’s LTE and 5G variants.
It is seen that the update was distributed in certain markets in the first stage. LTE versions are available in some countries, while updates in different regions for 5G -supported models. Although the Galaxy S20 Fe is included in this series, it does not receive this update for now. The distribution for the Fe model is expected to begin within a few days.
March 2025 update closes 58 gaps and increases system safety
Samsung, March 2025 safety patch in total, a total of 58 security deficits, he says. Some of these deficits are directed to the general components of the Android platform, while others directly affect Samsung software modules. These patches aim to strengthen the basic safety of the device. However, it cannot be said that the security level reaches the highest level.
The Galaxy S20 series now receives a security update every three months. For this reason, the released March update is presented in accordance with the calendar. Samsung’s periodic support allows device owners to continue to receive a certain level of protection. In addition, it should be taken into consideration that this support will be completely terminated in the future.
Users can manually control the update from the Settings menu on the devices. By entering the Software Update section, the “Download and Upload” option can be used. In addition, the relevant software files can be downloaded via Sammobile. However, this process requires advanced information and should be done carefully.
In addition, it is clear that the update does not offer performance or new feature. Therefore, it is clear that it is only a security version. Although Samsung’s approach does not increase the functionality of the device, it is important for security. For these models that have entered the last period of software life, such updates are limited to reducing risks.
In any case, the update is presented in time. Galaxy S20 users have a security patch that can protect their devices against basic threats. However, the fact that they cannot access the new security protocols may create a long -term deficit. This may require users to turn to newer models in the future.
Samsung has clarified its strategy on software support in recent years. New generation devices are offered for five years of security and a large Android update for four years. But the Galaxy S20 series is subject to the old version of this policy. Therefore, the current process of remaining up -to -date of these devices is limited.
The March 2025 update shows that the Galaxy S20 series is approaching the end with software support. Users should check the battery level and storage before receiving this update. It is also recommended to make a backup. In spite of everything, such updates contribute to the minimum security level of old devices.
