Galaxy S21 series getting May 2023 security update

Samsung doesn’t follow any pattern to update its Galaxy devices with new security updates. With every new update, it starts with any random device, irrespective of its price range or popularity. In these, we have also observed that Samsung, most of the time, ignores Galaxy S21 series devices and brings an update to its successor and predecessor devices.
