September Patch

Good job as usual Samsung on getting the security updates asap on the US unlocked models. One of the many million benefits of buying US unlocked vs the carrier version.

Still carrier dependent , only verizon I seen has it out not sure Att , T-Mobile nada
 
But still will get first on the US unlocked model before that particular carrier will get. So still better than the carrier model any day.

Also, you can follow these steps if you don't want to wait for carrier certification.

That's a big nope that US unlocked always getting updates before the respective carrier. That was the case in the beginning with my unlocked Note 10+ on TMo, but eventually it got to the point that the only time I got updates on my unlocked was by taking out my TMo sim and putting in a Verizon sim.

I don't know that's been my experience, the US unlocked models still depends on what sim you have. But let's say in your case tmobile sim, if TMobile delays certification which they always do because they suck, you should still eventually get the update first on US unlocked model with T-Mobile SIM before the T-Mobile carrier version gets.

That's what happened when I first got my Note 10+. I would get updates a day or 2 before T-Mobile firmware, but eventually T-Mobile would get security updates, but my unlocked never got them.

One thing for sure the unlocked version build number doesn't change between carrier like the carrier version.

Hmm interesting at least if I remember on S20 that was not the same, anyway I don't wait and just put Verizon sim (inactive one) to pull the update since mostly Verizon was good in certifying updates fast for unlocked models or use the XAA trick. So may be I didn't keep a close eye on timelines.
 
Unlocked on T-Mobile. No security patch update as of yet. I'm in no rush. I'll wait. Enjoying the device or what it is.
