More than a month ago, the Galaxy S20 series started getting the August 2022 security update. It was only for the international variants of the phone, though. Now, the US carrier-locked models of the Galaxy S20 series have started getting the August security patch.

The carrier-locked versions of the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra are getting new updates with the firmware version G98xUSQU3FVH1. It brings the August 2022 security patch that fixes dozens of security vulnerabilities, improves the stability of the device, and fixes some general bugs in the software.

If you are a Galaxy S20 series user in the US with a carrier-locked version, you can now download and install the new update on your device by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. You can also download the new firmware file from our database and flash it manually.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 series in early 2021 with Android 10 on board. The phones received the Android 11-based One UI 3 update in early 2021 and the Android 12-based One UI 4 update in late 2021. The devices are expected to receive the Android 13-based One UI 5 update sometime later this year.
