One UI 5.1 underway for Galaxy S21:
Samsung already started testing the One UI 5.1 software for Galaxy S21 phones so when users install it on their phones, they won’t face any major issues. We are continuously detecting One UI 5.1 test builds of Galaxy S21 phones on the CheckFirm app, which suggests that the company is trying its best to maintain the stability of the software.
It’s worth mentioning that Samsung will introduce the One UI 5.1 software alongside the Galaxy S23 series on February 1. After this, the older flagship phones will start getting this update and Galaxy S21 is expected to catch it in February itself.
Samsung Galaxy S21 series is getting a new update with April 2024 security Patch in Korea. The fresh update enhances the system security and adds a new feature of the Samsung Wallet app to provide a smoother performance.
April 2024 update for Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus, and Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphones in Korea can be identified through One UI build version G991NKSU4FXD3, G996NKSU4FXD3, and G998NKSU4FXD3 respectively.
The latest update includes a new feature within the Samsung Wallet app, which now supports a ‘Mobile ID’ function. This function allows users to add their mobile driver’s licenses and national veterans registration cards to their Samsung Wallet.
These digital IDs are officially issued by the government and can be used just like physical ID cards, both online and offline. However, it is important to note that only IC cards marked with a mobile ID icon are eligible to be added.
In addition to the ‘Mobile ID’ feature, the update also includes the latest Google security patch for the stabilization of security features. Users of the Galaxy S21 series in Korea can now enjoy these benefits after installing the new update through Settings >> Software Updates >> Download and Install.
