Samsung, flagship smartphones Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra line for the monthly security updates announced. This solution is associated with the aging of devices that have been four years since they entered the market. About it reports Phonearena Edition.
As specified in the scope of the Working page of updated security updates on the Samsung website, these models will now receive security updates only four times a year. Previously, the devices received monthly security patches.
The Galaxy S21 Fe is too early to worry about its owners – the models will continue to receive monthly updates. However, as experts point out, this has not been for a long time and the support for this model at the beginning of next year will decrease.
At the time of the announcement of the Galaxy S21 line, Samsung guaranteed great four -year updates and five -year security updates in the operating system. Galaxy S21 is expected to receive an update to Android 15, which will probably be the last major update for these devices.
The owners of the Galaxy S21 Fe were a little more lucky – the smartphone has another big update, so it means that Android 16 will receive this year after being released. This means that the device will remain relevant for at least one year.
Although the transition from the Galaxy S24 to Galaxy S25 looks unfair, the owners of old models such as the company Galaxy S21 suggest that it seriously think about updating its smartphone this year.
