Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 FE in mid-2020 with Android 1o onboard. The device received the Android 11 update in late 2020, the Android 12 update in late 2021, and the Android 13 update in late 2022. The phone didn't get access to the Android 14 update that was rolled out to more recent Galaxy phones.
