The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 appear to be what Samsung fans and critics alike have been demanding from the company for generations. Slimmer builds, larger displays, and even more powerful chipsets — what’s not to like? But ironically enough, Samsung might be hoping its latest Z-series lineup is enough to convince anyone with an aging Note device to make the plunge, even as S Pen compatibility is ripped away from that big, foldable display.
After briefly being dropped down earlier this week, Samsung says that the Galaxy Note 20 series will continue to get monthly security updates after all, at least for now.
Earlier this week, Samsung announced its Android 14 update and confirmed a list of devices that would be updated. Surprisingly, the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series were included on that list, but they’ve since been removed, confirming they likely won’t get Android 14 after all.

Samsung’s camera app has some features for both the novice and the advanced user, but the Galaxy S22 helped usher in a new “Expert RAW” camera experience. Now, Samsung has confirmed an expansion of the Expert RAW app to more devices.
Samsung’s rollout of Android 12 is back on full steam ahead, with the rollout resuming and even expanding to more regions for the company’s newest foldables. Alongside the latest devices, though, last year’s crop of Samsung smartphones is also now getting Android 12 including the Galaxy S20 series, Note 20, and Galaxy Z Fold 2.
2021 marked a big year for the Galaxy Note series, but not in a good way. Rather, it was the beginning of the end as Samsung prioritized its foldables over the Galaxy Note line. Now, the death of the Note seems set in stone, as Samsung reportedly has no plans for a 2022 Galaxy Note, and is also planning to end production of the Galaxy Note 20.
While Android 12 has only been released on one Samsung device in its stable form, Samsung is moving along with bringing the update to more devices. Today, Samsung has opened up the Android 12 / One UI 4.0 beta program to the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20.

As we talked about in our review last week, Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is one impressive smartphone. It comes with the latest and greatest everything, including Gorilla Glass Victus. Now, we’re seeing the strength of that glass in a very impressive Galaxy Note 20 Ultra drop test.
Smartphones have reached a bit of a plateau over the past few years, with mainstream flagships essentially just trying to surpass each other in getting closer and closer to perfection. With its Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Samsung improves on what’s been an excellent formula with the Galaxy Note 10 and S20 series and crafts a phone that is truly excellent. It’s just hitting the market at completely the wrong time.
The death of the headphone jack still stings for some users, but for a while, it’s been eased by the inclusion of wired USB earbuds in the box with some devices. With its Galaxy Note 20 series, though, Samsung doesn’t include any earbuds in the box.
