While Samsung’s latest flagships receive seven years of security updates (and seven major Android OS updates), that hasn’t always been the case. And so, five years after their release, the Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra are no longer going to receive any updates from this point forward.
The trio launched in January of 2021, and they were each promised to receive four major Android updates and five years of security patches. Those five years are up now. So, if you own one of these three phones, perhaps now is the best time to start looking for a replacement, seeing as how you won’t be receiving important security updates anymore.
The Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra are easy to recommend, since they’re part of the same flagship line and should receive some hefty discounts in a few weeks when their successors are launching.
