Edit: It is now available in UK. 🙌🏻

A large software update has started rolling out  in India this morning for the S21 series ( Monday 29th March 2021 ) it is around 1GB in size with April 2021 patch and firmware version G99xxXXU2AUC8. Camera improvements, overall performance improvements. Changes to portrait mode. 

I haven't received it myself so far, however it will be available in other countries very soon. 

I am in the UK with S21 Ultra SM-G998B - BTU.

Samsung promised corrected bluetooth range (after messing it up) with this update. Looks like they might have delivered.

I've also noticed that outdoor 4G upload speed it back to expected levels (similar to S20/S10). I hope this means that the main issue for me has been resolved. Didn't notice much change indoors but at the same time it didn't appear to lag indoors.

Today it's been garbage 🤣 I give up 😭

😆 😏 I've had a good experience. The first screenshot is the 24 hours between charging yesterday morning until this morning, and second is today so far. I actually think it's improved a little for me. But I do use FHD+ 120hz and a Bixby Routine to drop to 60hz in some apps like YouTube, Messenger, Amazon Shopping etc. 34% left this morning before charging back up to full ( in the first) and 70% left so far ( in the second ) . I can see a little change in Camera, Night Mode for sure, and I think Bluetooth range issues have been fixed too. Other than that, probably just background stuff. Do you use Galaxy Labs? U always optimise my apps after an update with Galaxy Labs ( and in the Bootloader before then )

Had my phone a week now & it's not much better than adamlee's.....  Screen on time 1hr 49 mins   60% battery left.

Something seriously wrong with recent updates. Can't even roll back to AUB9 because of bootloader version is V2 which means no downgrade 😭😭😭 I could get 8-9hours screen time easy... And 3 days light usage with 4-5hours screen time.

This one's mine with 64% left

By any chance are you using an app called galaxy max Hz? I've uninstalled the app and my drain is normal now.

Currently happy with battery life. Not sure if this is a one off but seems pretty decent.
