Samsung has really stepped up its update game recently and according to SamMobile, the South Korean manufacturer appears to have a functional crystal ball. Although it is still January, the Samsung Galaxy S20 series is currently receiving the February 2021 Android security patch in several countries outside the United States. Sure, getting a security update in advance isn’t as exciting as getting the next Android build in advance, but it’s something, right?
The security update is being released in the UK and Europe for the Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Galaxy S20 + and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. Do you want a more precise breakdown of the countries where it is February in January? No problems. In addition to the UK, last year’s Galaxy S20 series is receiving the February security patch in Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries.
