The July 2020 security patch has already started rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy S20 series in Korea, with the update bringing some additional camera enhancements.
[[[[Update 07/03]: The next patch to get the July 2020 security patch is the latest generation Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+, though nothing is known about the 5G variants (via SamMobile) Updates should be available and deployed right now if you have a Note 10 device. Firmware versions N970FXXS5CTFA and N975FXXS5CTFA It should now be rolling out for Note 10 and Note 10+ respectively, ensuring your device is completely secure with the latest patch.
However, it’s worth noting that the update has only been seen so far in the Exynos variants of Note 10. We’ll probably see the update for Snapdragon models in the coming days. If you own the Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+, you should definitely head to Device Settings> System Updates and check if you have an OTA update waiting to be installed.
[[[[Update 06/30]: The July 2020 patch is now rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy S10 series (via SamMobile) There have already been reports of the update affecting around 20 European nations, with firmware version G97xFXXS7CTF3 is already being widely implemented.
As far as we know, the patch is just that, a security update. No additional features have been added or included in the table. That makes sense given that the One UI 2.1 update brought more to Samsung devices in a line similar to Pixel Feature Drops; hopefully we’ll see more updates like that in the future too.
If you own the Galaxy S10, you should definitely head to your device Settings> System Updates and check if you have an OTA update waiting to be installed.
It’s impressive since we don’t expect the update until next week at least. Although not to overshadow the impressive speed of the update, OEMs do get access to the updates in advance to make the necessary modifications.
In Samsung’s homeland, South Korea, the July patch is now available as a firmware version G98xNKSU1ATFD for all Galaxy S20 series phones. At around 400MB in size, it’s not exactly lightweight (via SamMobile)

The July 2020 security patch isn’t the only inclusion, as there are some improvements to the camera, which appears to have been a focal point since its release with regular updates to the S20.
When it hits western markets, the upgrade improves high-magnification zoom photos and overall video stabilization. There are also some additional options including the ability to record via Bluetooth microphones when using the Samsung voice recording app.
While it does bring some new features, the July 2020 patch for the Samsung Galaxy S20 series also removes a few things. The update confirms the end of support for MirrorLink, which was a competitor to Android Auto, albeit without the same install base.
It appears that the update is currently only rolling out in Korea, but we are confident that it will expand to more regions in the coming days. If you’ve seen the patch on your device, be sure to let us know in the comment section below.
