The new update finally fixes the compatibility issue with Google Play that was reported recently. The discovery of this bug led to the halting of the One UI 4 update for the Galaxy S21 series recently. Although Samsung dismissed this as a rare issue at the time, it didn’t stop the manufacturer from pausing the rollout. The new stable One UI 4 update should be rolling out to the Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and the Galaxy Z Flip 3. XDA notes that global versions of the Galaxy S21 will get the update bearing the version number G99xBXXS3BULC. Meanwhile, customers in South Korea are seeing G99xNKSS3BULC.
Samsung will begin rolling out One UI 4.1 for the Galaxy S21 series in February 2022
If you’re a Galaxy Z Flip 3 customer, the update introduces firmware version F711xxxS2BUL6 while the Galaxy Z Fold 3 brings version F926xxxS1BUL6. All updates come with the December 2021 security patch. The update could take a while to reach all compatible devices. You can also pull the update manually by heading over to Settings – Software update from your Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Flip 3, or the Z Fold 3. Samsung is currently counting down the days for the release of One UI 4.1 as per recent reports. A moderator on the company’s forums said that the three variants of the Galaxy S21 would receive the One UI 4.1 update by February. The list also includes devices like the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It’s likely that the update will be available in South Korea first, while other markets could follow suit shortly after. The company is also testing One UI 4 betas on older phones like the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and the Galaxy S10 5G. Samsung pretty much leads the pack right in rolling out the latest updates to a large number of its smartphones and tablets.
