I haven't received the July updates for the S21 FE. This is almost end of July, I can't believe it can be this late. Anyone else using this phone face the same? Or there's something wrong with my phone?
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE July Updates Not Here Yet?
Comments
Thanks for confirming that! Cheers
Patience is a virtue
Ha ha, I know patience! I came from xiaomi phones. But at least Xiaomi didn't promise monthly security updates when I bought the Mi phone. Samsung sure did and that's only reason I got back into Samsung
lol
Alotta detail there Terry. Think about easing back on the multiple Samsung phone posts or are you running out of topics to post?
Sorry, did i post multiple Samsung post? I am not aware of that or did you confuse me with someone else? This is my virgin post if you notice my L plate
@Red Terence: So you have L plates on the Monaro?
Something is wrong and you need it fixed?
Nothing wrong, just want phone to be on latest security patch. There is a nasty remote code execution vulnerability.
First world problems
Should have gone pixel if you wanted timely android security updates.

Pixel is shit and hasn't got August yet.
Samsung AU still has to get some testing/approvals from the Telco that sells the device before releasing the update to the mass market. On average my S21 5G is about 28 to 30 days and my S21 Ultra is 25 days behind the pixel updates.
Just be patent, it's not like the old days when you would wait months for an update.
Eventually, it will come.
Thanks for the reply. My phone is not tied to a carrier. It is supposed to be monthly security updates for the newer devices. But Samsung has decided to skip one month for Australia. I sure hope it's just one month.

Firmware releases into the Australian regions are often weeks behind other regions, and sometimes skipped. If it is important to you though, manually updating the firmware is easy. There's a wiki on how to do it at https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9lyrmp23
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately Samsung hasn't released the firmware for Australia to flash. Casually checked, havent seen any for Exynos S21 FE. Not considering a custom rom at moment as it will void the warranty
The S21 series, as with all Galaxy phones from the last few years, use the same firmware, regardless of region. I flash, on release day, the firmware downloaded from whichever regions have it released - currently on my S22, I'm running firmware from Egypt, last month it was from Malaysia and the month before, from Singapore. It is genuine Samsung firmware, and exactly the same firmware as would be released in Australia.
No you are not the only one, I have been waiting for it too.
