Galaxy S21 Series No Longer on Samsung’s Monthly Updates

Samsung considers its users’ safety and Galaxy device’s security as its top priority, and that’s the reason why Samsung tops the chart when it comes to consistently delivering the security updates for its Galaxy smartphones. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S21 series has now been shifted to the quarterly security update section.
Substantially, Samsung always delivers the software updates according to the frequency the device has been kept in.
As the update frequency is divided into three subdivisions, including monthly, quarterly, and biannual security updates. Following the long-running tradition of proceeding with the updates to the devices according to their update frequency, Samsung often performs certain changes within this list.
Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra Moved from Monthly to Quarterly Updates
Meanwhile, Samsung recently changed the frequency of its 2021 flagships: the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra, which were earlier placed among the list of devices getting monthly security updates, and now all three smartphones have now been placed in the quarterly security updates list. Apparently this suggests that Samsung will offer security updates for the Galaxy S21 lineup once every three months.
It’s impressive that Samsung not only brings various impressive changes into its flagships but also aims to improve the overall functionality and performance of its older Galaxy smartphone lineup as well. Alternatively, the company has already offered the details of the latest February 2025 security bulletin, allowing users to know exactly what’s been fixed.
