New One UI 2.1 phase for carrier-bound Galaxy A51 brings June update

One UI 2.1 for the Galaxy A51 was first released a few weeks ago when the update rolled out along with the April 2020 security patch. More carrier variants of the Galaxy A51 are now getting the One UI 2.1 firmware update in numerous additional countries, and surprise, the update is being rolled out with a newer security patch in tow.

Firmware version A515FXXU3BTD4 for the Galaxy A51 is now being distributed along with the more recent June 2020 security patch. As detailed by Samsung before (hit the link), the June 2020 patch fixes 23 high-threat Android OS vulnerabilities and 29 Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures, so you should grab it as soon as possible to maintain a high security level on your phone.

A newer security patch for Samsung's most popular smartphone

The Galaxy A51 was Samsung's best-selling phone in Q1 2020, and that was before the One UI 2.1 update began rolling out. The Galaxy A51 is the company's hero device this year, so it deserves getting a newer security patch with this new One UI 2.1 rollout phase.

As detailed before, One UI 2.1 brings a variety of new features to the Galaxy A51 including an updated Gallery app, an improved Samsung Keyboard, AR Emoji, Quick Share, and Music Share.

To grab the update, visit SamMobile's firmware archive for the Galaxy A51 SM-A515FN, download the firmware for your particular market/carrier variant, and install it on your phone using a Windows PC. Alternatively, you can wait for the update notification to arrive on your phone, or you can attempt to update the device by opening Settings, tapping Software Update and then Download and install.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
