My mates a71 got the January 2021 update yet I have the November 2020 update and cant update further, what can I do? 

Thanks

Maybe switch your phone to another country, update dates vary from country to country.

[williamg209]

yeah I suppose but my mates a71 is in the same town as mine and yet his phone is on the latest update

Found an article that says updates are scheulded for April on a71's, so my best guess it's that your buddy's are in a beta test program and that's why.

I mean security patches not updates then, also no he wouldn't know what a beta is

[Slime]

you should ask samsung about it.. don't know, it could be that they roll out in a certain order and you happen to be on the bottom of the list.. 😂

I did and she literally told me she had no idea and to just leave feedback about it... I dunno my mates phone is the same we both live in the same town, only different is his a carrier I guess, but the fact im stuck in November is weird, 3 months out of date

[williamg209]

also wouldn't switching the country be bad for my sim card and or language

[Slime]

for your sim card no, it wouldnt affect it, language may be a problem but i belive your country of residence and the phone language are 2 different settings.. so you may set your phone to Africa and still keep it in english.. 😂
