Samsung has been constantly delivering One UI updates to its older devices. Recently, it’s A-series of devices like the Galaxy A51, A71 received the One UI 2.5 update. Now, as a surprise, Galaxy M21 becomes the first M-series Smartphone to get it.
As reported by XDADevelopers, the new Update for Galaxy M21 also includes the latest October 2020 Android Security Patch. As you can see from the screenshots below, the firmware versions are M215FXXU2ATJ5/M215FODM2ATJ5/M215FDDU2ATJ5. It weighs 650MB and carries improvements to the Camera, Keyboard, and Messages.

Further, the Messages section now gets an SOS message feature. It allows users to share SOS-location every 30 minutes for a day. Additionally, the update also has Camera improvements and stability. But we aren’t sure if that will impact performance just yet.
Samsung unveiled the One UI 2.5 based on Android 10 with Galaxy Note 20 series. Initially, we thought the update will roll out only to its Galaxy Note, S, and Z series of devices. However, the company surprised us by rolling it out to mid-range smartphones like Galaxy A51, and A71.
That said, the new One UI 2.5 update for Galaxy M21 is a surprising move considering its higher-priced siblings like Galaxy M51 themselves launched with One UI Core 2.1. And are yet to get the next version. Earlier, the company rolled out the One UI 2.1 update last month with features like Single Take, Night Hyperlapse, My Filters, and more.
