The carrier-locked Galaxy S20 receives the year’s final security update in the United States

Samsung is busy updating most of its devices with Android 14, but it looks like there’s none for the Galaxy S20. However, the Samsung Galaxy S20 series is getting a software update to keep up with the December security patch. For now, this update is available in the US for carrier-locked versions.
