Latest Samsung Galaxy S20, S20 Plus, and S20 Ultra updates
January 31, 2022: Samsung is pushing next month’s update ahead of time once again. This time, firmware versions G98xFXXUDEVA9 and G98xBXXUDEVA9 are heading to 4G and 5G devices, respectively (h/t SamMobile). The update itself includes the February 2022 security patch, but it’s unclear what this month’s security bundle brings.
Those in mainland Europe and the UK are currently receiving the new update, but it shouldn’t be too long before other regions get a slice of the patch, too. To check if the update is available for your device head to Settings > Software update and tap on Download and install.
