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

Brazil is not the whole globe bruh.Globally S21FE is launched with Android 12.And globally launched Android version is counted for update.And about last android version that is Android 15 as S21FE is included under 3+4 years of software update policy only not 4+5 years kf software update policy
