- Samsung is rolling out One UI 6 stable update for Galaxy S21 users.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 series has been on the market for several years, but the phones have proven themselves well. Currently, they are not one of the best Android phones, but most casual users are happy with their purchase. The Samsung Galaxy S21 series is based on One UI 3.1 Android 11, but the cellphone has been completely updated to One UI 5.1 based on Android 13. Now Samsung is introducing One UI 6 for the Galaxy S21 series based on Android 14.
According to user reports, Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 6 update for Galaxy S21 users. The rollout has begun for users in Europe, and reports specifically mention the Galaxy S21 Ultra. We assume the same applies to the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus.
The update is version FWK2. Like many other One UI 6 updates, this update also includes security fixes starting November 2023. For the Galaxy S21 Ultra, the update package is a decent size at 2.4 GB, which is reasonable for a large platform update.
If no critical bugs are found in the update, the update will be released gradually to more users in more regions. Considering the speed at which Samsung is working on its devices, it seems the company has ironed out most of the bugs.
If you have a Galaxy S21 series smartphone , go to Settings > Software Update > Check for software updates .
Samsung has promised four major OS updates for the Galaxy S21 series. This is Android 14's third update, so you can expect another year of platform updates and security updates.
One UI 6 includes new features such as significant visual changes to the Quick Settings panel, lock screen and notification panel, a new Studio video editing app, a new auto-lock setting to improve your phone's security, and other minor changes.
