Samsung outpaces every Android smartphone manufacturer when it comes to offering software updates to its Galaxy portfolio. While the Android 15-based One UI 7 is still undergoing certain developments, the company is delivering the October 2024 security update, as the Galaxy S21 series is receiving the update in Canada.
This security update for the Samsung Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra has the firmware versions G991WVLSDGXJ2, G996WVLSDGXJ2, and G998WVLSDGXJ2, respectively.
The October 2024 security update is solely a minor security patch that brings a lot of security and bug fixes. It introduces plenty of key improvements to the device’s overall security, fixes certain issues, and applies improvements to all the security-related vulnerabilities, all while keeping the device safe from external harms and offering a more safe and secure environment to the users.
Barring the bug-fixing patch, this security update further adds certain significant enhancements to the device’s overall functionality, brings performance optimizations, adds stability to the device’s behavior, and delivers much improved features that help users to have a smooth, stable, and optimized software experience.
Moreover, other than Europe and the US, the October 2024 security update for the Galaxy S21 trio is available in the Canadian market, while the update will follow the other eligible regions in the near future.
