Samsung recently overtook Google as the company with the longest support for its phones. The South Korean tech giant is now leading the race when it comes to delivering on-time security patch build. And even though Google is yet to release the vulnerability fixes for the April 2022 security patch, Samsung is already seeding the update to the Galaxy S21 series.
The April 2022 security patch for the Galaxy S21 series phones has a firmware number G99xxXXS4CVCG. It’s seeding for the Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and the S21 Ultra, with those in Germany currently getting the update. Of course, the new build has bumped the Android security patch level to April 2022 to improve security and address system vulnerability. And like every other OTA, it’s staged and would likely take some days before making its way to all eligible phones.
