To receive the latest firmware upgrade on your Samsung device, you don’t need to do anything manually. As soon as the server fetches this update for your device, it will notify you to permit installation. Still, you can check it manually through Settings >> Software updates >> Download and install.
Notably, the company just released the January 2023 security patch for the Galaxy Note 10 series devices in Switzerland. We expect, the Galaxy S22 and latest foldable devices would soon get access to the most up-to-date Android security patch.

Samsung is likely to detail the January 2023 security patch within this week. However, we are sure that the latest update brings fixes for dozens of bugs and CVEs to ensure privacy and data. Meanwhile, it would be cherry on cake if it brings improvements to the Android 13 installation for better experiences.
No sign on One UI 5.1
Samsung already started testing One UI 5.1 update on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy S22 series device in South Korea and India, respectively. So far, we have not heard anything about One UI 5.1 development for the Galaxy S21 series phones.
In early November, the South Korean tech giant released the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update for the Galaxy S21 series. It brought a number of new features and user interface improvements, however, we are eyeing the One UI 5.1 for even better user experiences.
