- Fans say they will continue to use the phones, but the line of notes is now officially completed.
The Galaxy Note series was emblematic in its time, but time is not waiting for any device, and now the last models have finally been cut. Samsung has stopped taking care of the Galaxy Note 20 and the Note 20 Ultra, with the August 2025 safety fix as their final update.
As spotted on the R / Galaxynote20 SubreditThe two phones have disappeared from the official update list of Samsung. This means that they will remain on Android 13 with a 5.1 user interface, and the owners will no longer see monthly or quarterly fixes.

The end has long been in sight for the flagship products of Samsung in 2020. The Note 20 series was launched with Android 10 and obtained three upgrades of the operating system before moving on to security fixes only. Samsung briefly restored them to monthly updates last April after having old -fashioned them for the first time to quarterly support, but it was just a temporary stay.

On Reddit, long -standing users have called features that they still lack on more recent devices, such as microSD expansion. Others say that their note 20 Ultra always works well apart from a camera or an aging battery, with some providing for continuing it as a main phone or putting it back as a secondary appearance.
The whole mark of notes was withdrawn after note 20, the ultra galaxy S taking over as Samsung’s S Pen Powerhouse. Many Galaxy Z Fold models have also supported the stylus, but without integrated location. But the series of notes is officially over, and it will be missed.
