Recently, there has been some confusion regarding the Android 14 update for Samsung’s Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series. First, there were reports that these older devices would indeed receive the Android 14 based One UI 6.0 update, but then, a contradictory statement emerged, stating that they would not be getting this latest software upgrade. Here are the details…
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20 won’t get Android 14 update
The initial reports were quite exciting for owners of Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and Galaxy Z Flip, which were mentioned as eligible for the Android 14 based One UI 6 update. These devices had already received three generations of Android updates, so the possibility of a fourth was a pleasant surprise. Furthermore, newer Samsung models were also expected to get the update, potentially making them among the first to enjoy One UI 6.
However, the situation took a U-turn when Samsung clarified the matter. According to the updated information, the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy S20 will not receive the Android 14 based One UI 6.0 update, despite being mentioned in Samsung’s One UI 6-related article on their website. Instead, these devices will only receive some Galaxy Enhance-X features.
The confusion arose due to a statement in Samsung’s article that listed devices eligible for Galaxy Enhance-X features. In this list, the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 were included, but the wording of the statement led to misinterpretation. It became evident that Samsung’s initial inclusion of these devices was a mistake, given the company’s earlier commitment to providing only three major Android OS updates for the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series.
Samsung had previously adhered to the three-year update policy for these smartphones, which started with Android 10, followed by updates to Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13. The Galaxy S21 series marked an improvement with four years of Android OS updates. However, this extended support was not extended to the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy S20.
So, if you own a Galaxy Note 20 or Galaxy S20 series smartphone, you should not expect to receive the official Android 14 update.
