Samsung’s first Galaxy S FE phone has received its final update

The Galaxy S20 FE was Samsung’s first Fan Edition Galaxy S smartphone, launched in 2020 around seven months after the main Galaxy S20 series. It quickly became a fan favorite (as intended?) thanks to its excellent balance of features and price.

Last month, in October, the Galaxy S20 FE completed five years on the market, and as expected, it has now reached the end of its software support lifecycle. The device received three major Android OS upgrades and regular security updates over the past two years.

Samsung will no longer release new software updates for the Galaxy S20 FE, though a final patch may still appear in some markets that haven’t received the latest security update yet. If you want to keep your phone secure against the latest threats, it’s time to consider an upgrade.

The Galaxy S25 FE is a great option for Galaxy S20 FE owners looking to move on. It continues the Fan Edition legacy with an excellent balance of price and features, and it’s eligible for an impressive seven major OS upgrades and seven years of security updates.

In some markets, Samsung regularly offers limited-time deals, such as 256GB of storage for the price of the 128GB base variant. You can also trade in your Galaxy S20 FE and save up to an additional $200. Not in the US? Visit Samsung.com to check what trade-in values, discounts, and regional offers are available in your market.
