New Update Schedule for Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Series
Starting from September 2024, the Galaxy Note 20 series will be removed from the monthly update list and will now receive updates quarterly. The Galaxy Note 20, launched in 2020 with Android 10, has reached the end of its three-year Android update period and will not receive One UI 6.0, One UI 6.1, or newer versions.
However, the Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20 5G, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G will transition to a quarterly update schedule. While updates will be less frequent, the devices are expected to continue operating smoothly.
