We all are aware of the importance of the latest security patches. It is highly recommended to keep your Android device(s) updated to the latest available security patchset in order to avoid serious security issues.
However, carriers are often the primary delaying factor. For example, Verizon has pushed in new security updates for the Samsung Galaxy A50 and LG Stylo 5. Although we are in December, the former is getting the November patches. LG Stylo 5 is another step behind.
Let us take a look at the updates received on both the devices, one by one in detail.
Samsung Galaxy A50
Galaxy A50 was launched back in March 2019, and it is being served with the November patchset. In fact, this update is a bit late as we have reported that the unlocked Galaxy A50 has already received the latest December patches in some regions.
The new update arrives with the version number ASK1. The OTA also brings some improvements in the Fingerprint recognition system. FYI, the unlocked variant grabbed a similar update back in mid-November.
Below is the official changelog along with the screenshot of the update tracker:

For better and more secure recognition, fingerprint recognition has been improved in the latest software update. We recommend that you remove all of your fingerprints and register them again. Once you remove all registered fingerprints, the new update for fingerprint recognition will be installed. We highly recommend installing the update as it contains important improvements to your fingerprint scanner.
Keep in mind the update is hitting the device via OTA in batches. However, you can go ahead and check for the update manually by going to Settings > About Device > Software updates.
LG Stylo 5
LG came up with the LG Stylo 5 smartphone in June 2019 and it sports a Snapdragon 450 chipset, a 3,500 mAh battery, a 6.2-inch display along with a single 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP selfie camera.
Besides the dated October patchset, the latest update also brings along live stickers for the Camera and Gallery app. It arrives with the version number Q720VS10c. Below is the official changelog along with the screenshot of the update prompt:
