Samsung is rolling out the July 2023 security patch to its Galaxy S21 FE devices in India, following the successful rollout to its S22, S23, and other flagship and midrange series. The firmware version G990EXXS7EWG1 update, of 256MB size, rectifies over 90 security vulnerabilities identified in the earlier software, without offering any additional features or performance enhancements.
