Samsung is continuing its sequence of updates this week, starting the US release of the January 2021 security patch with the Galaxy S20 and Note20 unlocked, as well as the Verizon S10 5G and A50. The changelog doesn’t mention anything but the increase in the January patch, so don’t expect new features.

The update reached the unlocked S20, S20 + and S20 Ultra and weighs around 230 MB. As always, we will keep this page updated as other Samsung phones receive their patches. The most recent additions to this list are in bold.

As is usually the case, the update is being implemented in stages, so it may not reach your device immediately. In my experience, Samsung phones are not always the best at automatically searching for available updates, so check for yourself ssettings> Software update it’s always a good idea.
