One UI 7 update boosts Galaxy S21 in the US
Samsung is bringing a major upgrade to unlocked Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra devices across the United States with the Android 15-powered One UI 7 update. This release introduces a modern design and smart features to keep your phone running smoothly and securely.
The One UI 7 update refreshes the phone’s look with a sleek vertical app tray, bolder icons, and larger home screen folders. You can now tweak widgets to match your style and enjoy fluid animations that make navigating fun. A cool addition, the Info Bar, flashes quick updates on your lock screen, saving you time. Plus, the Call Notes feature records and transcribes calls in multiple languages, ideal for jotting down important details.
This update also packs the April 2025 security patch, strengthening your phone’s defenses and performance. It’s a hefty 5GB download, so ensure your device is plugged in and on Wi-Fi. To get it, head to Settings, tap Software Update, and select Download and Install. If it’s not there yet, hang tight—it’s rolling out in phases and should arrive soon.
Launched in 2021, the Galaxy S21 series is promised four big OS updates, and this is the final one. Samsung will keep delivering security fixes until 2026. Dive into the new features and enjoy a smarter, fresher phone!
