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

Why will samsung do it??A55 getting AI.The said device is not yet launched then why do a sane person from within the company would like to share whether A55 has AI or not.On 11th March A55/A33 will be lanched.And then they possibly will share whether A55 has Galaxy AI or not.And even if still on launch event they don't do it then yes it is problem with samsung not revealing

And about S21FE getting Android 15 as last update they have revealed that when it was launched.But we just need our eyes and some brain muscles to search and find and see it.OS version updated guaranteed upto:Android 15.It is clearly said by Samsung1709952301879.jpg

4+5 year policy was brought on and introduced on 17th February 2022 during S22 Launch event.But S21Fe was launched before that in 11th Jan 2022.So when there was no plan to introduce 4+5 years policy when S21FE was launching.Why would they say it?

Look at the screen shot
The last 4 digits of the first firmware of the Sansung Galaxy s21 fe 5g Exynos
BUL5
B MEANS 2ND MAJOR UPDATE
THAT DOES MEAN ANDRIOD WAS ALREADY LAUNCHED IN S21 FE 5G
SO AS I TOLD U EARLIAR
U MEANS means 2021
L means the firmware is of december
And 5 means how many times this firmware being tested.
That means samsung launched the device with andriod 11 in some parts of the world way before it launched in india with andriod 12
U will not find these infos even in google

Bruh first reply me when did I told that S21FE is getting Android 16 as last update as it was launched with Android 12.In all my comment I told that S21FE will not get Android 16 as Android 15 is the last update for S21FE.I am already agreeing with you that S21FE will get Android 15 only.So make me understand why are you feeling like I am saying different and I didnot understand to what you are saying
