Samsung released the same software update to the international variant of the Galaxy S21 FE and the carrier-locked version of the device for the US a few days ago. Now, it has reached India. The company should release the latest security update to other variants of the device, including the carrier-unlocked version of the phone in the next few weeks.
Samsung has promised to offer the Galaxy S21 FE with OS upgrades for four years and security updates for five years. The next major software updates for the device should be Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 and Android 15-based One UI 7.0.
