Samsung has significantly improved the frequency with which it updates its phones. Additionally, the latest generation, with the Galaxy S24 at the helm, raised the bar to seven years. Now we pay attention to the One UI 6.1 updates that include the Galaxy AI package for other devices from the Korean manufacturer.
As we learned a few days ago, the Galaxy S22 will receive all of Samsung’s artificial intelligence functions. Others like the Galaxy S21 will be satisfied with a small share, and it is precisely this family which receives a new update in April before One UI 6.1
The Samsung Galaxy S21 updates before taking the plunge with Galaxy AI
When a manufacturer updates its mobile phones for as long as Samsung, it is appreciated. The updates not only add new features – like Galaxy AI, pending for this mobile – but also bring Android security fixes. This covers vulnerabilities that can be exploited by third parties to endanger the security of the device and, therefore, the user privacy
On this occasion, as reported by SamMobile, it is the Samsung Galaxy S21 which receives a new version. It’s about April 2024 Security Update, and arrives directly in terminals sold in Europe; now also to those of the United States.
More precisely, the firmware versions correspond to the following labels:
- Galaxy S21: G991U1UESAFXD1
- Galaxy S21+: G996U1UESAFXD1
- Galaxy S21 Ultra: G998U1UESAFXD1
In Europecertainly changes the firmware name, from the G99*BXXSAFXCL series:
- Galaxy S21: G991BXXSAFXCL
- Galaxy S21 Plus: G996BXXSAFXCL
- Galaxy S21 Ultra: G998BXXSAFXCL
These packages fix several dozen security vulnerabilities, also provide performance improvements and bug fixes. Nothing new or significant, although as always, It is advisable to update our Galaxy.
This way we will keep the Android software up to date, possibly with better performance than before, and incidentally, We are preparing to receive One UI 6.1 which will give the Galaxy S21 family some artificial intelligence features.
