Galaxy S20 FE: Check for update availability
The update features firmware version G781BXXS4CUI1 and brings with it the security patch of October 2021, which is pretty impressive since it's only been 4 days since the beginning of October. Samsung has failed to offer any information in relation to the bugs and issues it has fixed with this patch as of this writing, with a proper announcement expected soon.
In case you own a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and you live in Europe and you haven't seen this update appear yet, you can check the same by going to Settings, then navigating to Software Update.
The update should appear, after which you need to click Download and Install. If it doesn't show up, wait a day or two and check again. When it comes to what sets the S20 FE 5G apart, it's a special phone for those who didn't like the Exynos chips. Instead of the Exynos 990 on the Galaxy S20 FE 4G, the new variant packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chip.
However, the differences end there. The phone uses the same 6.5-inch flat display with Full HD+ resolution. The display belongs to the AMOLED class and has a fingerprint scanner, 120 Hz refresh rate and a hole for the 32 MP selfie snapper.
Moving to the rear, there's a triple camera setup that lives within a rectangular camera cutout. It packs a 12MP primary, a 12MP ultrawide, and an 8MP telephoto.
