Samsung has begun rolling out One UI 7.0 to last year’s flagship devices, with all eligible phones set to receive the stable update in phases. Amid all the excitement, it’s easy to forget about the legendary Galaxy S20 — which, sadly, is now reaching the end of the road. The Galaxy S20 series had its moment in the spotlight, but Samsung will no longer provide software support.
Galaxy S20 series software support journey reaches the final destination
When Samsung announced the Galaxy S20 series back in 2020, it promised four years of software support, including regular security updates. While that official window ended in April 2024, Samsung extended the series’ life by switching from monthly to quarterly security patches, giving it an extra year. But now, Samsung has officially removed the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra from its update schedule page.
If you own one of these devices, the March 2025 security patch will be the last update you receive, unless Samsung changes its mind. But as of now, the final decision is clear: there will be no more software support from Samsung. This marks the end for these five-year-old legendary phones that were once on everyone’s wish list.
So, what should you do now? Should you keep using your phone, or is it time for an upgrade? Realistically, it’s probably time to move on. We recommend upgrading to a newer device like the Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra if you’re looking for long-term support. You can also explore more affordable options like the Galaxy A36.
You can retire your Galaxy S20 series phone, or better yet, trade it in. It’s a good idea to do so while it still holds some value. These devices are now quite outdated, and a trade-in could get you a decent return for your old but reliable companion.
That said, the Galaxy S20 FE is still receiving software support for now. But as you might have guessed, its time is also coming to an end.
