Galaxy S21 FE gets March 2025 security fix in the USA

Samsung has started rolling out a new security update for the Galaxy S21 FE in the United States. This update, tagged as the March 2025 security patch, is now reaching users with devices tied to carriers like Verizon and Comcast. It’s a small but important release aimed at keeping your phone safe.
The update carries the firmware version G990USQSFAXE1. While it doesn’t bring fresh features or big changes, it focuses on fixing bugs and boosting the phone’s protection. Samsung hasn’t shared a detailed list of what’s patched, but these updates usually tackle small security risks to keep hackers away and your data secure.
Right now, this update is hitting carrier-locked Galaxy S21 FE phones in the USA. If you’ve got an unlocked version, you might need to wait a bit longer. Samsung often sends updates to carrier models first before rolling them out to unlocked ones.
To check if the update’s ready for your phone, head to Settings, then tap Software Update, and hit Download and Install. It’s a quick process—just 133 MB—so it won’t take much time or data. Make sure your phone’s charged or plugged in, and you’re good to go.
This update shows Samsung’s promise to keep even older phones like the Galaxy S21 FE safe and running smoothly. Released in early 2022, this model still gets regular care through these security patches. If you’re using one, keep an eye out for the notification, or manually check for it. Staying updated means staying protected!
