Users of the Samsung Galaxy S21 can already install the October security patch. The update is already available, but it will have to wait until next Monday for explanation from Google that discusses the resolved vulnerabilities.
Samsung Security Patch October 2021
Samsung was already the first in line of all manufacturers to roll out the Android security update to its phones. The Galaxy S21, the S21 Plus and S21 Ultra bite the bullet this time. At the moment, the update is already being rolled out in Germany, but we expect it to arrive soon in the Netherlands and Belgium, and with more phones from the manufacturer.
This update has the firmware version ‘G991BXXU3AUIE’ and it comes with the October 2021 security patch. We expect a word from Google on Monday evening, October 4, because then the Android developers will discuss which security problems have been fixed.
A few weeks ago, the S21 devices received a larger update that updated the devices to One UI 3.1.1. It is the last major update for the software shell, because internally Samsung is now fully working on One UI 4.0. In other countries, users can test the new software version based on Android 12. The South Korean brand has already made known on which two points the focus is.
