The Galaxy S21 FE will likely not get the One UI 6.1.1 update. The phone was originally launched in early 2022 with Android 12 onboard and has already received two major Android OS updates (Android 13 in late 2022 and Android 14 in late 2023). It will get the Android 15-based One UI 7.0 update later this year and the Android 16 update in late 2025.
