Samsung Signals End of Updates for Galaxy S20 FE as S25 FE Debuts With Seven-Year Support

Delisting expected soon leaves legacy FE phones without ongoing protection, with trade-in offers encouraging upgrades.

Overview

  • The Galaxy S20 FE received the October 2025 security patch and is expected to be removed from Samsung’s support list soon, making this likely its final update.
  • Samsung’s official update page still lists the S20 FE under quarterly updates, but reports say it will drop from the page in the coming month.
  • Once delisted, the S20 FE will no longer get security fixes, increasing exposure to evolving threats over time.
  • The Galaxy S21 FE has just been updated to Android 16 (One UI 8.0), which is its fourth and final major OS upgrade under Samsung’s original commitment.
  • Samsung’s new Galaxy S25 FE is on sale with a seven-year promise for Android and security updates, and U.S. buyers trading in an S20 FE can get around $200 off plus a free storage upgrade in some offers.
