Samsung’s December Update Arrives on Galaxy S21, Note 20, Fold 3, Flip 3, and More

You always love to see another update to end the year and Samsung is doing that for most of its still-supported line of phones. The December Android update rolled out to Pixel phones at the beginning of the month, but Samsung is up next to deliver it to a ton of devices.

The Verizon versions of Samsung’s Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Fold 2, Galaxy Fold 3, and Galaxy Flip 3 are all seeing new software. Since all previously received Android 13 builds, this is just a touch-up build of security patches to finish out 2022.

Each listing basically says the same thing, “The current software update provides the most up to date Android security patches on your device.” There aren’t performance improvements or a bunch of bug fixes, and definitely no new features. Remember, you got those last month.

If you own any of those phones, here is the build number to be on the lookout for:

• Galaxy S21: TP1A.220624.014.G991USQS5DVL3
• Galaxy S21+: TP1A.220624.014.G996USQS5DVL3
• Galaxy S21 Ultra: TP1A.220624.014.G998USQS5DVL3
• Galaxy S21 FE: TP1A.220624.014.G990USQS4DVL1
• Galaxy S21 FE (2022): TP1A.220624.014.G990U2SQS2DVL1
• Galaxy Note 20: TP1A.220624.014.N981USQS3GVKA
