The exclusive Android 12-based OneUI 4.1 update is already being seeded in the Samsung Galaxy A21s, better late than never. The Galaxy A21 users might consider the Samsung Galaxy A21s Android 12 update rather late since the update has gotten to all flagship devices since March, already present in the mid-range A-series and even some non-flagship devices.
And as Samsung will soon kickstart the Android 13 OneUI 5 beta, the update is reaching A21 quite late. Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy A21s Android 12 update is currently available in Russia and as usual, it should get to other regions soon as it’s a gradual process. The update bears firmware version A217FXXU8DVF6 and it includes the June security patch, quite generous from the Korean tech giant.
What’s new?
The Samsung Galaxy A21s Android 12 update brings tweaks to the stock apps like Calendar, Files, Samsung Gallery, Samsung Keyboard, and others. The package brings in some major improvements in privacy controls, the camera, and the gallery. In addition, a Grammarly-powered keyboard, better RAM management, and Material You Palette are making their way to your smartphone.
Coupled with the June SMR which brings bug fixes and fixes for over 60 security vulnerabilities, you should expect an overall boost in the performance of your device even if it’s not going to be as premium as the flagship devices with the update.
