The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is expected to release in January 2022 after a long delay. We know almost everything about this smartphone for months. A new finding now reveals something about the phone that was not known earlier.

Yesterday, the software firmware for the Galaxy S21 FE went live on Samsung’s server. According to these builds (via SamMobile), the handset will ship with Android 12 out of the box. This means it should also come with One UI 4.0 comprising of new features and visual changes.

On top of that, the device may receive up to Android 15 update in the future. That’s because Samsung promises 3 generations of OS updates and at least 4 years of security updates for its premium and select mid-range smartphones and tablets.

If this happens to be true, then the Galaxy S21 FE will be a better option than the rest of the Galaxy S21 models in terms of software. 

It makes sense for Samsung to release the Galaxy S20 FE successor with Android 12 as it will go official almost a year after the debut of Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra. In fact, it will be soon followed by the Galaxy S22 series with the same version of Android a few days later.

Anyway, the Galaxy S22 could be a better deal than the Galaxy S21 FE. Because the former is said to be only $100 costlier than the latter.
