Samsung started pushing out the May 2021 security update to its high-end smartphones last week. The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Z Fold 2, and even the Galaxy A51 have started receiving the latest security patch. The international variant of the Galaxy Note 20 got the update last week, and it's now time for the US variants of the phones to get the new software update.
The carrier variants of the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra have started receiving the May 2021 security patch. The latest firmware versions for the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra are N981U1UES2DUD5 and N986U1UES2DUD5, respectively.

The update is now available in the US for the Galaxy Note 20 series on networks like Bluegrass Cellular (which is now a part of the Verizon network), Comcast, Verizon, and Xfinity Mobile. The new software is also available for unlocked models of smartphones.
