WOW! That is 2 months ahead of Samsung's published schedule and without Beta testing, other than South Korea.

Updates are showing for the Galaxy S20 FE 4G, Exynos, model on unbranded devices in multiple countries.

Android 11

Firmware version G780FXXU1BTL1

Build date 02 December 2020

Android Security patch December 2020

[EDIT] Confirmed roll outs to Galaxy S20 FE 4G for the following countries and CSC codes...

Panama unbranded (TPA)

Mexico unbranded (MXO)

Paraguay unbranded (UPO)

Russia unbranded (SER)

No news on the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G yet but it shouldn't be too long now.

I got an update two days ago for my FE, but it was 206 mb, and was still UI 2.5 . It did contain the Dec 5 security patch. This is the unlocked US 5G version

Actually I looked and you are correct.
I didn't get Android 11 update. Still on 10. I was wondering why it was fast to install.

Samsung have now pushed out over 40 firmware updates on both carrier branded and unbranded devices for the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, (SM-G781B).

To manually check if an update is available for you, go to... Settings > Software update > Download and install

Anyone in the US with an unlocked model getting the update? Been checking ours daily but no such luck. Got the Dec1 security patch 4 days ago but still on Android 10.

The only reason why I really considered the pixel 5.

Same... The new pixels are waaaayyyy too small for me, though. That said, first to get an update isn't always the best. I've been pretty happy with Samsung the last 4 years. Updates tend to be slow but they're reliable. Getting a solid, working update is the important part IMO.

Oh I don't regret the purchase. Just have to adjust to update regularity.
