Samsung Releases Critical April Updates for Galaxy Devices, But Some S20s Switch to Quarterly Schedule
-
Samsung has released its April security updates, bringing critical fixes for millions of Galaxy devices. However, some S20 devices will only get quarterly updates going forward.
-
The April update contains 4 high-risk Samsung fixes and 1 critical Android fix related to a memory corruption issue. The Android fix could allow privilege escalation if exploited.
-
Apple still handles security updates better than Android. Android remains high-risk for malware attacks. Users should update devices as soon as possible.
-
The April update will also bring One UI 6.1 to some devices. It may also expand seamless updating already piloted on some Galaxy devices.
-
Users should check if the update is available for their device and install it right away, either automatically or manually. The security fixes are critical.
