New information has raised questions about whether the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will receive the upcoming One UI 8.5 update. Some users are now worried that the phone might miss this major software upgrade before its support period ends.

Samsung usually releases all Android-based One UI updates (smaller or bigger) to its flagships if the device is eligible for the main Android version. Like, if any Samsung device is eligible for Android 14, then it will receive all the One UI updates that are based on this Android version, such as One UI 6, One UI 6.1, and One UI 6.1.1.

So, it would be surprising if the Galaxy S21 FE does not receive One UI 8.5. Also, One UI 8.5 has not yet been released for any Galaxy device. It is expected to roll out in March, so there is still time for Samsung to clarify its plans.

But the new information about the One UI 8.5 update comes from a response given by a customer care representative at Samsung India. According to the reply shared by a user (Saurabh Patni), the representative mentioned that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will not receive the upcoming update.

The Galaxy S21 FE is still supported by Samsung. The company has promised security updates for the device until January 2027. This means users will continue to receive important security patches for nearly two more years. Since the phone is still under support, many believe it should also get One UI 8.5.

As of now, Samsung has not officially confirmed whether the Galaxy S21 FE will receive One UI 8.5. Users will need to wait for a clear announcement from the company. Stay tuned.
