Samsung Galaxy S20 FE gets Android 14 with LineageOS 21

Despite the fact that official updates for the Galaxy S20 FE have stopped on the Android 13 version, developers from the LineageOS project have given new life to the popular smartphone. LineageOS 21 was unveiled today, which is based on Android 14 and is available for installation on the Galaxy S20 FE and its 5G version.

Here's What We Know

This update comes as a lifesaver for users as Samsung has stopped releasing major updates for this model and the latest security patches were released back in March this year. LineageOS 21 not only gives a second life to the device, but also promises a number of improvements including a new customisation process, enhancements to the camera and gallery apps, and a host of UI tweaks.

However, it's worth noting that owners of the global version with the Exynos 990 chip should be cautious, as LineageOS builds only indicate support for the 4G version with the Snapdragon chip. This could indicate a bug or support limitation and trying to install on devices with the Exynos 990 could lead to issues.

LineageOS support for the Galaxy S20 FE is a significant step forward considering that this device still has great specs and can fulfil the basic needs of users for a long time to come. For those who wish to upgrade their phone, the LineageOS project provides all the necessary instructions and installation files that can be downloaded here.
