Samsung Galaxy S21 FE starts getting Android 14 update in the US

Samsung continues to be on the rise. The Korean company has done a great job delivering Android 14 updates to over a dozen phones and tablets in less than a month.

Although it started with its flagships, the Android 14 update quickly spread to mid-range and affordable Galaxy devices. One thing that's probably frustrating for Samsung fans is the fact that these updates are rolling out in waves, meaning they're initially available in certain countries.

The Galaxy S21 FE is no exception to this unwritten rule. Starting today, customers in the United States should be able to upgrade their Galaxy S21 FE units as well, assuming they have the Verizon-model linked.

Yes, Verizon is the first (and only) carrier to currently deploy the Galaxy S21 FEAndroid 14 updated, according to SamMobile. Obviously, we expect the update to be available in other countries very soon, but if you have an unlocked model, you are not eligible for an Android 14 upgrade.

Just like the other Android 14 updates released by Samsung so far, this one includes the November 2023 security patch. If you are a Verizon customer using the Galaxy S21 FE As a daily driver, you can check for the update now by going to Settings/Software Update/Download and Install.
