In Brazil (on all its carrier models), the Galaxy S21 is getting the updated software with firmware version G990EXXS7EWH2.

In the US, the carrier-locked version of the Galaxy S21 FE is getting the new software update with firmware version G990USQS8EWG3 on Dish, Metro PCS, and T-Mobile's networks. The latest update fixes over 70 security vulnerabilities in the phone.

If you have a Galaxy S21 FE and live in any of the countries mentioned above, you can check for the new software update on your Galaxy S21 FE.
