November 2025 turns out to be a disappointing month for the owners of five Samsung phones and a tablet for software update. The company detailed today its latest patch and revised software plan, noting that some devices have lost support.

Five Samsung phones will no longer receive new software update. A rugged Galaxy tablet has also faced the same treatment, ousted from update support. However, the devices will remain fully functional even after this change.

Here are the details:

Removed from Quarterly list

  • Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S20 FE 5G → Completely removed (no longer listed).
  • Galaxy Tab Active3 → Removed.

Galaxy S20 FE and its 5G variant were Samsung’s first Fan Edition devices. After receiving software updates for five years, the popular devices are no longer eligible. Galaxy Tab Active3 is the company’s rugged device offering.

Removed from Biannual list

  • Galaxy M22, Galaxy M52 5G → Wiped out (no longer on any list).
  • W22 5G → Also wiped out completely (no longer on any list).

Galaxy M22 and M52 5G are mid-range Samsung phones released in 2021. These handsets have also completed their 4-year lifecycle. W22 5G, a Chinese version of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, has also reached its end of life in updates.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE January 2025 update

In short, November’s update adds W26 and boosts S21 FE 5G to monthly updates, while S20 FE models, W22 5G, and a few older mid-rangers lose support entirely. You can check the full revised rollout plan in our dedicated article.

Samsung has also added some newly launched devices on its software rollout chart. It’s a usual and new phones and tablets will recieve their OTAs. Devices that lost official update support now render vulnerable to Android exploits.

Galaxy S25 FE is a perfect upgrade for those rocking with the S20 FE. Samsung launched new M series phones that now feature up to 6 years of updates. W22 5G owners can purchase the W26 5G, the world’s thinnest foldable.

Didn’t find your device in all three categories either? Samsung may still provide your device with a new security update if necessary. However, it’s rare as your phone or tablet has been disqualified after years of regular support.

Your Galaxy device will function as before, but the security status won’t improve. It’s risky to use an Android device that doesn’t receive security patches. You can consider upgrading to a new Galaxy device from Samsung Shop or Store.
