“Samsung Ends Support for Galaxy S21 Models, Urges Owners to Upgrade”

Samsung has ceased support for three older Galaxy smartphone models, which means they will no longer receive essential software updates. The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus, and Galaxy S21 Ultra have been removed from Samsung’s list of supported devices for security patches, signaling no further system updates. Owners of these phones released in 2021 may want to consider upgrading for enhanced security. While the Galaxy S21 series initially promised four years of Android updates and five years of security updates, those commitments have now expired in 2026. In contrast, newer models like the Galaxy S25 offer extended support with seven years of updates. However, the Galaxy S21 FE continues to receive quarterly security updates. Those considering an upgrade may want to hold off as Samsung is anticipated to unveil the Galaxy S26 series soon, possibly on February 25, featuring upgrades such as a faster processor, improved camera, enhanced design, and better battery life. Mirror Online will provide updates on the latest Samsung news and product launches.
