Samsung Galaxy S21 with Exynos chip receiving August 2021 security update internationally

After the Chinese Galaxy S21 series models, Samsung is now releasing the August 2021 security patch to the international variants via a new software update. Initially, the update is making its way to the Exynos 2100-powered Galaxy S21 flagships in Germany (Europe).

Users in Germany can now check for the updates and identify this new release via build numbers: G991BXXU3AUGM, G996BXXU3AUGM, and G998BXXU3AUGM for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra respectively.

Samsung confirmed that its August 2021 security patch update includes fixes for 38 CVEs in which 3 are critical, 23 are high, 9 are moderate, 1 already included in previous updates, and 3 do not apply to Samsung devices.

Other than the system security improvements, the Galaxy S21 update doesn’t bring any new features or major system optimizations.

Meanwhile, the company is rapidly working to distribute a new and improved One UI 3.1.1 update just after its announcement alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 3 at August 11’s Unpacked.

Last week, the company announced that the One UI 4.0 Beta is coming soon for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21, and Galaxy S21 Ultra devices in South Korea.

However, the person in charge silently deleted the announcement banner, which hints at a delay in the arrival of Android 12 for the latest S series flagships.
