Security Updates for A20e (not A20) - Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers

Hi,
does anybody know why the A20e isn't in the list of eligible devices for 4 years of security updates even though it was released in 2019 and the article states that devices from 2019 should be eligible?
Thanks,
Tobias

Android 7 for SM-T580, is it legit?

Just searched for this device on the Wi-Fi Alliance site and this site lists the SM-T580 with Android 7, it got certified on the 7th of April.

Build Number Explanation?

I'm wondering about what exactly more recent build numbers for Samsung phones mean in detail, and if anyone here has any further information to add, as I've found guides explaining older builds but not newer ones.
Take my current build as an example, G955WVLU1AQI3:
G955W: Canadian S8+.
VLU: I don't know, this changed to VLS sometimes and back to VLU for past OTA updates on this model.
1: I don't know, some releases bump this up, like G935W8VLU2APK3 for the Canadian S7 Edge. Both 1A... and 2A... firmwares were on 6.0.1 for the S7s.
A: Apparently changing this from A to B signified 6.0.1 to 7.0 for the S7s (such as in G935W8VLU2BQH1), so I'm guessing this represents Android version updates. I've heard open beta firmwares set this to Z.
Q: The year; Q is 2017, P is 2016, R will be 2018, etc.
I: The month; I is September, H is August, J is October, etc.
3: Probably a sequential indicator, since it can't be the day, as this OS was built on 11 September, not 3 September.

Pre-owned U Ultra, what is latest UK software version

Hi Folks
Ive just picked up a pre-owned U Ultra, which is BNIB...
I bought it as Unlocked..
What is the latest Unlocked UK firmware and Google security patch?.
Thanks all
Allow me to answer, even though mine is a European unlocked single sim U Ultra...
Build #: 1.64.401.3
Security patch: 1st July 2017
Thank You friend.. Much appreciated for that, thats exactly what Ive got.. so thanks..
The reason I asked was when I look around the web and XDA all of the EU/UK updates state its still on 1.62.401.1.. I just wanted to check that someone hadnt installed a non-EU/UK rom.
So 1.64,, mustve been just the July security patch..
I know since the M8 / 9, HTC have done most of their updates over Google Play.. but July seems quite an old security patch for a 6 month old flagship device.
Thanks
You're welcome! I had the exact same question when I bought mine.
HTC is rather punctual regarding their updates. The only reason that can explain the security patch delay is the forthcoming oreo update. Fingers crossed...

The model number you listed isn't one associated w/any model of the Samsung Galaxy Note FE.
I'm sure it's just a typo,perhaps you could take another look in Settings > About Phone & update us with a screenshot/etc...... of which model you have & someone here with the same model will likely chime-in soon. :good:

How do you get updates for the FE if your not in Korea?
Can you also get them with a Belgian career like Base?

Upgrade N910V without root?

Hi all - so I picked up a N910V and have hit a road block. Hoping someone has a solution because I love this phone. My employers BYOD program has some restrictions in place. I have to be running Android 5.5 or greater, security patch level of September 2017 or newer, and can not be rooted. Latest update that I've seen is from August. Do I have any options here or is this beauty hitting ebay?
