Recently Samsung rolled out a new firmware update for Galaxy S21 Plus for June 2022.

We have seen a recent update released in Germany, which is G996BXXU5CVEB.
Although Samsung has rolled out these updates for the Galaxy S21 trio, it has only been seen in a few regions. This time it’s Germany and expected to roll out soon in other regions as Samsung usually pushes its updates to all its sister series devices simultaneously.
This OTA seems to be a security patch, just regular updates. Not much to add here. Some users are starting to post their updates here.
If you are not getting updated, you might want to check the option for software update in your phone settings. Also, make sure that you are connected to wifi to get a better experience, avoid network carrier charges, and make sure your phone is charged, for updates may take time.
Samsung Galaxy S21+ sports Mali G78 MP14/Adreno 660, octa-core Snapdragon 888 5nm/Exynos 2100 5nm, Android 11, and One Ui 3.1 out of the box, with four promising updates from Samsung.
A new collaboration in the market is that Samsung Electronics Italia is partnering with Seletti just to design special edition cases for the Galaxy S24 series smartphones for their classy looks.
The Galaxy S24 series is the latest flagship series from Samsung, which broke the re-order records of its predecessors just within a month. Now, to slay the look of the device’s case, Samsung Electronics Italia is shaking hands with Seletti to offer the cases with stunning designs that will use NFC technology.
Seletti is an Italian brand that combines design with pop art. The special edition cases for the Galaxy S24 series smartphone will use NFC technology, which permits data to be transferred wirelessly between devices.
This special edition will feature a black and white patterned card coupled with a unique design by Seletti. This card will personalize the exterior of the phone as well as unlock a dynamic lock screen animation on the device that matches the card’s design. The new cases will surely create a balanced and stylish look for both the front and back of the phone.
Paolo Bagnoli, Head of Marketing and Retail of the Mobile Experience division of Samsung Electronics Italia, stated, “The creativity of the Seletti brand, capable of reinventing contemporary living and populating it with ever new forms and contents, makes our premium devices even more unique and exclusive.”
The Seletti x Samsung cards are available on the online website of the brand Samsung.com online shop, on Amazon, and in selected consumer electronics stores for 21.90 euros, while the FlipSuit Case is available for 49.90 euros.
Samsung has bigger plans to expand its smart wearable family beyond expectations, as Galaxy Glasses are next in line.
Samsung, apart from the forthcoming sixth-generation foldable Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 Galaxy Ringdevices, which are supposed to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked Event 2024 in July, is also busy expanding the wearable area by debuting a brand new smart glasses.
Back in 2023, Samsung had already trademarked the name for its smart glasses, Galaxy Glasses, from which reports regarding this are blowing. And now the recent reports are unveiling that Samsung has now filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization for its smart glasses.
It is being speculated by Patently Apple that the patent displays the potential design of smart glasses by Samsung along with its charging case. Although the design of the glasses does not appear to be too different from the usual spectacles, For more details, the patent reveals some technical details about it.
The patent is revealing that the lenses are housed in their default place, but the left rim of them has magnetic connection points that will permit the glasses to charge while placed on their cover. The batteries are placed at each temple tip. Curiously, the patent makes no mention of cameras or sensors—components generally expected in XR devices.
Probably the patent will focus simply on the physical design. Samsung might file separate subsequent patents covering the more complex technical aspects of an invention. For now, nothing more has been revealed; the patent only reveals some insights, and it’s too early to say if Samsung will launch this product.
However, Samsung has not unveiled anything regarding the smartphone officially yet, but it is expected that some news from Tipster and the brand will get revealed soon.
