So I just got this phone used on eBay to go along with my Red KEY2.

After the initial setup and going to About Phone > Software Information I noticed it was still on this older update.
So I thought the previous owner had just forgotten to do the updates for the last couple of months.

But when I go to check for updates, it says that I'm on the latest update even though I doubt all Note 10+ phones are also still on April 2020.

Do I have to manually run an update or something? Do I need a PC?Screenshot_20210116-204444_Software%20update.jpeg
 
Do you know if this phone was originally locked to a specific carrier, or was it an unlocked carrier-agnostic version? If it was originally from Verizon, and you're using it on a different carrier, it might not get official updates because it's looking for Verizon.
 
This unlocked version , looks like they installed the star wars theme, you can odin and flash the latest firmware
 
Solved by using Smart Switch on Mac, went straight to January 2021 with One UI 2.5

Thanks!
