S21 FE One UI 5, flagship ignored

[kgothalo]

I honestly don't get how mid-range devices in the A series are getting updates before the S21 & S20 FE series🤦🏾

What's the point in paying somewhat premium prices and having midrange phones jump ahead of you in the update order. Simply pathetic and infuriating from Samsung

[Real-Sello]

Which A series has received the update?

[kgothalo]

A73, A53, A33 in other regions have received the update. The update will probably hit SA this weekend or at best early next week.

[Real-Sello]

I see. When are we scheduled to receive the update?

[kgothalo]

Judging from how S22 updates were pushed, it takes at most a week from the European release for SA users to get the update. Because given I remember correctly the the A13 update here for S22 was released a week after the initial update in the UK

[Real-Sello]

Really? I'd say give it a month. Samsung eill probably wait till they're halfway done with the more recent flagships before they move to midranges. S21fe and S20fe will at most get it in December.

[kgothalo]

But if we are talking in terms of recent flagships the order is

Flip & Fold 4
S22 series
S21 FE
Fold & Flip 3 series
S21 series
Fold & Flip 2 series
S20 FE
Note 20
S20 series

They've already diverted from prioritising some flagship devices

[Real-Sello]

I honestly don't regard FEs as flagships. They say they are but I just don't.

[kgothalo]

Fair point, to them as them which they are they should treat them as such in every regard. If you say certain phones are flagship phones and you put them under a certain banner they should represent that banner which they do so well and furthermore ya'll should treat their updates as such.

[Real-Sello]

I say all phones should get updates at the same time, how is that not possible? I know someone might have some smart **bleep** answer but it's just **bleep**.
