Notably, the international variants of the Samsung Galaxy S10 have already received the November 2021 security update. The company started rolling out the update last month. Now, the time is for the carrier-locked Galaxy S10 series to be served with the update. It is rolling out for the entire Galaxy S10 lineup, which includes the Galaxy S10, S10e, and the Galaxy S10+. The unlocked models in the US have also received an update. Samsung Galaxy S10 series was launched back in 2019. It came with Android 9 Pie onboard. Later, in 2020, it received its first firmware update in the form of Android 10. Earlier this year, Samsung rolled out the Android 11 update for the entire lineup. The November 2021 security update is a very crucial update as it fixes several security and privacy-related vulnerabilities. As usual, this security update is purely incremental in nature.
