Samsung's Galaxy S20 series phones start getting the October security patch

The Galaxy Note 20 and Note 10 series phones are also likely to start receiving the October security update soon.

What you need to know

  • Samsung's Galaxy S20 series phones are now receiving the October security update.
  • Along with the S20 series, last year's Galaxy S10 lineup has also started receiving the latest Android security patch.
  • Aside from the October 2020 patch, however, the latest update doesn't bring any new features.

Samsung has started pushing the latest October 2020 Android security patch to its Galaxy S20 series phones. In addition to three of the best Android phones in Samsung's 2020 lineup, last year's Galaxy S10 series has also started receiving the latest Android security patch. Unsurprisingly, however, the update doesn't come with any new features or enhancements.

According to the folks at SamMobile, the update arrives as version G97xFXXS9DTI8 for the Galaxy S10 series and G98xxXXS5BTU for the Galaxy S20 series. The October security update is currently rolling out only to a small number of users, but we expect it to become more widely available in a week or two. Samsung's other recent flagship phones, including the Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Z Fold 2, and Galaxy Z Flip are expected to begin receiving the October security update within the next few days.

Samsung is also expected to launch the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 beta program for the Galaxy S20 series soon, although no specific date has been confirmed yet. Last year, Samsung kicked off the Android 10-based One UI 2.0 beta program for the Galaxy S10 series in mid-October. The stable update, on the other hand, started rolling out to Galaxy S10 users in late November.

If you have a Galaxy S20 or Galaxy S10 series phone, you can try checking for the latest update by opening the Settings app and heading over to Software update > Download and install.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
