Galaxy S21 FE gets February 2024 security update in the USA
The new security update for the Galaxy S23 FE comes with firmware version G990USQSAFXAI for the carrier-locked model in the US. This update is available on Metro PCS and T-Mobile networks in the country. For the factory-unlocked version of the Galaxy S23 FE, the new security update comes bearing firmware version G990U1UESAFXAA, and it is available on almost all carrier networks in the USA.
The new software update only comes with the February 2024 security patch, which fixes 72 security flaws that were discovered in the previous versions of the software.
