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

It is inded released with Android 12.But it is covered under 3+4 year of software update policy.As the 4+5 years software update policy itself has started with launch of S22 on 17Feb 2022 and the device that are launched after S22 in 17th Feb 2022 are only included in 4+5 years software update policy.And S21FE being launched before that it didnot gets included on 4+5 years of software update.So yeah Android 15 is the last1709940085388.jpg

Brazil was the country where samsung launched with andriod 11
It is does not not matter whether it is globally launched or ina particular country.
The fact is samsung s21 fe 5g was launched with andriod 11 in brazil so it will get 4 os upto
12,13,14,15

But the problem is that samsung is not revealing
For example samsung itself is not revealing that whether a55 will have galaxy ai or not
We r getting these indos from outsiders.
Samsung never share these kind of infos.
Rarely they share
