Samsung has ceased support for three older Galaxy phone models, which means they will no longer receive essential software updates. The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus, and Galaxy S21 Ultra have been removed from the list of supported devices for security patches on Samsung’s official update page. Despite the initial promise of four years of Android updates and five years of security updates for the S21 series, these commitments have now expired in 2026. Users of these phones are advised to consider upgrading for security reasons. On the other hand, the Galaxy S21 FE continues to receive quarterly security updates and is expected to do so for at least another year.
For those contemplating an upgrade, it might be worthwhile to wait a bit longer as Samsung is anticipated to unveil the Galaxy S26 series later this month, possibly around February 25. The new series is rumored to feature enhancements like a faster processor, improved camera quality, enhanced design, and better battery life. Stay tuned for updates on the latest Samsung news from Mirror Online.
