Samsung’s Flagship Smartphones from 5 Years Ago Now Reached Their End-of-Life Status
Samsung’s flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra, have officially reached their end-of-life status, meaning they will no longer receive updates. These devices were initially launched in February 2020, marking the start of a significant era for the company.
The announcement was made discreetly, with Samsung removing all three models from its list of supported devices. This confirmation followed the rollout of the April 2025 update announcement, which includes the One UI 7 update.
However, it’s important to note that One UI 7 has not yet been released in the U.S., with its rollout scheduled to begin on April 10. The Galaxy S24 series, along with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, will be the first to receive this update.
All three Galaxy S20 models had continued to receive security updates until this point. Since their debut over five years ago, these devices have contributed to Samsung’s flagship legacy.
While the company has enhanced its support for flagship devices in recent years, that practice was not in place at the time of the Galaxy S20’s release. Consequently, the Galaxy S20 series will no longer benefit from any software updates going forward.
The introduction of the Galaxy S20 series represented a significant milestone for Samsung, following the Galaxy S10 series launched in 2019. Notably, the Galaxy S20 Ultra was the company’s first ‘Ultra’ variant, setting a new standard.
Although the Galaxy S20 series did not achieve remarkable popularity compared to other Galaxy S models, it remains an important part of Samsung’s history and development trajectory.
