One UI 5.1 underway for Galaxy S21:
Samsung already started testing the One UI 5.1 software for Galaxy S21 phones so when users install it on their phones, they won’t face any major issues. We are continuously detecting One UI 5.1 test builds of Galaxy S21 phones on the CheckFirm app, which suggests that the company is trying its best to maintain the stability of the software.
It’s worth mentioning that Samsung will introduce the One UI 5.1 software alongside the Galaxy S23 series on February 1. After this, the older flagship phones will start getting this update and Galaxy S21 is expected to catch it in February itself.
