Verizon has updates ready for these dozen Samsung phones and tablets

Some of this doesn't make sense. For example, the Galaxy S20 FE, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Fold 2 are all receiving the October Android security patch. There is nothing odd about that because, after all, it is October. But while the Galaxy S20 line is receiving the September update, surprisingly the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is too. And considering that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is one of the top-selling foldables in the world, it seems a little odd that this particular model has a security patch that is a month behind when the two-year-old Galaxy Z Fold 2 has a security patch that is up to date.

Besides the security patch, the update includes some bug exterminations including one that has prevented several Samsung Galaxy devices from sending or receiving text messages. Additionally, the Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ tablets are receiving a software update which includes a taskbar, an improved split screen, and more.

To update your Samsung Galaxy handset or tablet on Verizon, go to Settings > System updates > Check for system updates. If there is an update available, you'll see a prompt that says Download now. Before you even start the updating process, Verizon says that you should find a strong Verizon signal to hook up to or connect to a Wi-Fi network. Also, make sure that your battery is fully charged before you start updating your Samsung Galaxy device.
