[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Idebutterpiep:
New Galaxy S20 update adds feature that’s great for getting your phone repaired​

The Galaxy S20+ received Android 13 and One UI 5.0 in early November, and it has gotten a couple of minor updates since then. The most recent one brought the December 2022 security patch to the Galaxy S20+ and this week, yet another update is rolling out for the three phones (via Galaxy Club).

A new firmware with version number G98**XXUFGVL5 is rolling out to Galaxy S20+ phones in some European markets, such as Germany and Switzerland. The official changelog says the update improves the stability of functions and device security, but what it doesn’t say is that the update adds Samsung’s new Maintenance mode feature to the 2020 Galaxy S flagship line.

Maintenance mode is a feature that Samsung announced in late October as a part of One UI 5.0. While some Galaxy devices received it in their very first Android 13 firmware release, others didn’t, but Samsung is working on fixing that oversight with follow-up updates.
