Samsung has rolled out the latest security patch for the Galaxy S20 FE in Europe. The October 2021 security patch provides the needed updates for Samsung’s latest affordable flagship smartphone despite the absence of the much-anticipated Galaxy S21 FE.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE update hub provides information on updates and current software versions for the device. Samsung regularly provides One UI updates, but the availability of the updates may be affected by variant, carrier, and region.

The current update does not include the Android 12 operating system which is believed to become operational by 2022. The update comes with the firmware G781BXXS4CUI1 and apart from the October 2021 security patch for 5G model users in Europe, it also brings some improvements. The actual details of the improvements, bug fixes, and feature additions have not been fully specified at this time.

We expect other regions to follow Europe subsequently in the availability of the updates. To check if an update is available, navigate to the Settings menu on your device and choose Software updates.

There had been several updates of the Galaxy S20 FE since December 2020 when One UI 3.0 firmware arrived with version G780FXXU1BTL1 and G781BXXU1BTL4 for the 4G and 5G models, respectively. Other updates included February 2021, March, April, July, and August 2021. These updates addressed different issues and provided fixes as well as updates on the One UI.

We await more details of the October 2021 updates from Samsung.

Samsung‘s pocket-friendly Galaxy S21 FE has been a long time coming but the company is yet to release a launch date for the much-anticipated device. There are speculations that the device will be launched on September 8. While we await official confirmation, a new detail has emerged about the Galaxy S21 FE.

A model believed to be the Galaxy S21 FE has appeared on GeekBench. This isn’t the first time the device will be making an appearance on GeekBench but what makes this spectacular is that the model is powered by an Exynos chipset. Specifically, the device which bears the model number SM-G990E is equipped with the Exynos 2100 flagship processor.

The Exynos version may likely be released in some markets. But that may cause some controversies considering that the chipset is not as powerful as the Snapdragon 888 which will also power some models of the S21 FE. The GeekBench score of 1,084 points and 3,316 points on the single and multi-core tests attests to this. We also recall how the Exynos 990 released last year performed way below the Snapdragon 865. Thankfully, the Exynos 2100 isn’t so far behind the Snapdragon 888.

In a related development, Samsung has started seeding the latest Android security patch for the month of September to the Galaxy S20 FE even before the start of September. The update ushers in the firmware version G781BXXU4CUH5 and has a 790MB size. Apart from the security patch, the update doesn’t bring any new features aside from improved system stability.

The update is already been pushed to some users in Austria, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Slovenia, Nordic countries, Czech Republic, Poland, and the Baltic region. We expect Samsung to expand the update to more markets soon. You can manually check for the update by navigating to the phone’s Settings > Software update menu.
