Overview
- The Galaxy S20 FE received the October 2025 security patch, which multiple outlets report is likely its final update before the model is removed from Samsung’s support list.
- Samsung still lists the S20 FE for quarterly patches today, but reporters expect the phone to be delisted soon after hitting its five‑year support window.
- With no further patches expected, S20 FE owners will face growing exposure to new security threats over time.
- The Galaxy S21 FE has just been upgraded to Android 16 with One UI 8.0, which outlets note fulfills Samsung’s four‑major‑update promise for that device.
- Samsung’s current S25 FE is sold with seven years of Android and security updates, and U.S. buyers are seeing trade‑in offers around $200 off plus a storage upgrade.
