Samsung Galaxy S21 series gets the One UI 7 update
The rollout of One UI 7 has begun for the Galaxy S21 series devices in South Korea, carrying firmware version G99xNKSU8HYD9, with other markets to follow shortly. Galaxy S21 owners can manually check for the update through their device settings.
The latest Android 15-based One UI 7 update represents the last major operating system upgrade for the Galaxy S21 series, which first launched with Android 11 three years ago.
