The new update comes equipped with various improvements, including tweaks to the notification shade/quick panel, chat bubbles for conversations, enhanced privacy options, as well as a number of visual improvements throughout the user interface including the lock screen and home screen widgets.
Based on Samsung’s roadmap for the update, Galaxy Note 20 owners were expected to receive the update in January 2021, so it’s a nice surprise for global Note 20 owners. Users in Slovakia have already reported the update on their Galaxy Note 20 units. To check for the update on your device, visit Settings > Software update > Download and install. If you don’t see an update available yet, be patient as the global rollout may take some time to reach certain regions, and may ramp up come January.
