[Antonz85]

So the uk has not recieved it just yet then? Im not getting the update here on a non branded version s21 plus

[WelshPaul]

Nope, end of next week most likely.

[adamlee]

Do you know if the S21FE has started yet?

[ironass]

No March Security patch or One UI 4.1 for the S21 FE, so far. 

Still on release BVB3 with Feb: patch.

So far, I am liking this latest CVC4 with One UI 4.1 release. Very smooth and fast scrolling with good battery life. Early results from the camera are showing a definite improvement with the added features.
