Another month, another security patch slowly coming to carrier-locked Samsung phones while handsets around the world have already started getting the update in October. This time around, the Verizon Galaxy Note20 series and the AT&T Galaxy Fold were the first carrier-locked devices in line to receive the update, most recently followed by the Verizon Galaxy S9 series.

The November patch is fairly small at about 200MB for the Galaxy Fold and about 850MB for the Note9, and it doesn’t include any changes other than the latest security updates. The Android 11-based One UI 3.0 is already in advanced testing stages, but it’ll take a while until this exciting update hits phones.

Here are all the Samsung devices in the United States that have received the latest firmware (latest entries marked bold):
