Few companies do software support as well as Samsung, slow One UI 7 rollout notwithstanding. Now, months after officially ending support<\/a> for the five-year-old Galaxy S20 series, the company is back with one additional patch, now rolling out to Verizon customers.<\/p>\n The update, as spotted by SammyGuru<\/a>, is now available for the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra. As you\u2019d probably expect from a 2020 lineup that\u2019s no longer supported, this release includes a bump to the July 2025 security patch, after a supposed final move to the March 2025 patch earlier this year. Though this patch is starting with Verizon customers<\/a>, presumably, it\u2019ll roll out to other devices on other networks in the coming weeks. Here\u2019s those patch numbers:<\/p>\n There\u2019s no official changelog for this update outside of those security fixes, nor is there an explanation for why Samsung decided to roll out this update to a discontinued series of devices in the first place. It\u2019s not entirely uncommon for OEMs to deliver unexpected updates, though it\u2019s far from common. Google usually rolls out one final big patch for its Pixel devices reaching EOL \u2014 along with battery fixes<\/a> that are growing in frequency<\/a> \u2014 while Samsung will occasionally drop one final patch months down the road, as we\u2019ve seen with today\u2019s release.<\/p>\n The Galaxy S20 series received a full five years of software support, though the company\u2019s only gotten better since its release in 2020. These days, devices like the Galaxy S25 series receive seven years of OS and security patch support, tying Google\u2019s promised lifespan and matching what consumers have come to expect from Apple\u2019s (unspoken) iPhone policies. If you\u2019re still rocking a Galaxy S20 after all these years, you\u2019ll want to install these security fixes as soon as you receive them \u2014 usually, there\u2019s a pretty important reason for a device lineup springing back to life like this.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n\n
