If you are using the Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+ or Galaxy S21 Ultra and were waiting for a new update, this news is important for you. Samsung has officially stopped new software and security updates for these three smartphones.
When the Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra were launched in 2021, Samsung promised long-term updates for these flagship phones. Now, the company has confirmed that system and security updates have completely ended for these models.
This means these phones will not get new features, major system updates, or security patches anymore.
According to Samsung’s update policy, the Galaxy S21 series was supposed to receive four major Android updates and five years of security updates. Samsung has now fulfilled this promise.
Current Status of the Galaxy S21 Series
The Samsung Galaxy S21 series is still widely used by many people. That is why the news of the update stop may disappoint users.
The Galaxy S21 series recently received One UI 7 based on Android 15, which Samsung called a major system update. After this update, no new Android versions such as Android 16 or One UI 8 will be released for these phones.
Impact on Users
Since these phones will no longer receive updates, users will miss out on new security features. Over time, the devices may start to feel outdated, and some apps may stop working properly in the future.
Now, users need to think carefully about whether they want to continue using their Galaxy S21 phones or upgrade to a newer model.
