European users are probably getting the latest security update later than others because of the Europe-exclusive update Samsung released for multiple Galaxy devices last month. That update brought some regional LTE band support changes and wasn't released in other regions.
With the June update, Samsung has enhanced the Galaxy S21 FE's security. The June 2024 security patch has made its way to many Galaxy phones already and brings fixes for 59 vulnerabilities discovered in Android and One UI. Out of those 59 vulnerabilities, 22 affect only Samsung smartphones and tablets.
The update, identifiable by the build number G990BXXS8GXF1, doesn't include any other changes. You can download it directly on your S21 FE by navigating to its Settings » Software update menu and tapping the Download and install button.
Alternatively, download the latest Galaxy S21 FE firmware from our website on a Windows PC and use it to upgrade the phone. This process requires a USB connection.
Thanks for the tip, Jonas!
