S21 FE Android 16?

[archy_techguy]

Well, as you can see tech community, the midrange deal breaker🔥🔥 Galaxy S21 FE was released on Jan 2022 with Android 12 and not with Android 11(S21, S21+ and ultra). This phone is also included under Samsung's new update policy which provides 4 yrs of OS updates. So, technically it should get Android 16, right?

Yet from various sources( youtubers, Samsung forums) I have learned that S21 FE will not recieve Android 16 and end with just Android 15 just like its other S21 variants(S21, S21 + and ultra). Although the FE was released 1 yr later(2022 not 2021), Samsung still wants to end S21 FE with Android 15 only. 

So clearly it is understandable that Samsung has made an exception to S21 FE and not included it under their new update policy. Reminding you, S22 also released with Android 12 but it will get 16(confirmed by official sources). 

I appeal to Samsung to either provide Android 16 to S21 FE or declare officially that YOU have decided to not include it under your 4 yr update program. 

S21 FE users, whether exynos or Snapdragon, fight for your rights and dont let Samsung sleep it under the carpet.

Thank you

The dame same info in my phone too.And the users of S21FE too have the link in last successfull update history to check what Android was device launched with.Everyone are aware these days.They know how to read build numbers.As most of all use checkfirm.And the buildnumber too is simplified there for users better understanding

Ou did mention that it will get 3 os
Technically speaking it will get 4 os and andriod 15 will be the last

Practically saying it will get 3+4 only.As it is launched with Android 12 as second major update out of box even in Brazil and South Korea.Their update history too have only Android 12 with Build number BUK5 itself out of box.Android 11 was never given to S21FE for public.Android 11 was in their internal testing.Amd the first upgrade to Android 12 too was done during internal testing only

S22 released with Android 12 and on S22 launch event only 4+5 year update policy announced for S22 series and upcoming device of other series.S22 being the first device to be included in 4+5 year policy.And even samsung has include S21 series in 4+5 year policy.But fact is all S21 are launched with Android 11 out of box.And the S21FE was launched with Android 12 out of box but with a catch Android 12 was the first major OS update for S21FE on its launch day out of box.So starting with Android 12 being first,13 being second,14 being third and 15 being fourth.The S21FE will ends its os update with Android 15 only

You saying s21 is covered by samsung 4+5 year of support and you saying is android 12 is the first s21 fe android version you saying android 15 is the third update so it have to receive four at least to be covered by 4+5year of updates it will receive android 16 you're denying your self
