The owners of the Galaxy S21 FE USA variant are now receiving the One UI 8 update. Here in this article, we will check the latest software version and changelog.

Galaxy S21 FE gets Android 16 and One UI 8 in the USA

The carrier-locked version of the Galaxy S21 FE has started getting the Android 16-based One UI 8.0 update. It comes with firmware version G990USQUJIYJ2 or G990U2SQUHIYJ2, depending on the model number of the phone. The update is now available on AT&T, Cricket Wireless, Metro PCS, and T-Mobile networks.

The update is still not available for the factory unlocked version of the Galaxy S21 FE. If you have a carrier-locked Galaxy S21 FE in the USA, you should check for the new update right away.

You can check for the update by navigating to Settings > Software update > Download and install. After the update is downloaded, tap the Install now button to start the installation process.

One UI 8 brings several new and improved features to the Galaxy S21 FE. Some of them include a more secure version of Secure Folder, a redesigned Quick Share app, and a completely new codebase for DeX. It also brings more actions and conditions in Modes and Routines. The Weather app also has better visuals.

As per the specifications are concerned, the Galaxy S21 FE was launched in early 2022 with Android 12 (One UI 4.0) onboard. It received the Android 13 (One UI 5.0) update later that year and the Android 14 (One UI 6.0) update in late 2023. A few months ago, Samsung released the Android 15 update for the phone. Based on the company’s promise, Android 16 is the last major Android OS version the phone will run.

One UI 8.0 brings a new design to Samsung Internet, Quick Share, and Weather apps. It also brings more actions and conditions to the Modes And Routines app, more customizable Quick Panel, and more lock screen customization options.

One UI 8 redefines versatility with UX optimized across the Galaxy product portfolio. Designed to adapt to the unique form factors of Galaxy smartphones and tablets, One UI 8 ensures seamless functionality while boosting productivity and efficiency.

AI Results View displays results from AI features in a separate Split View or Floating View, keeping their original content visible and unobstructed.

Thanks to Galaxy AI Optimized for Large Screens, Multi Window lets users drag and drop AI-generated content — including images and text — directly into their workflow. Tools like Drawing Assist10 and Writing Assist11 unlock an even smoother creative process, as users can move ideas and visuals around more easily than ever before.

Gemini Live is now available directly on Flip’s FlexWindow for hands-free voice search, acting as a personal assistant right on the cover screen.

Audio Eraser proactively detects and removes unwanted background noise, like wind or traffic, with a single tap on a new toggle in video apps and audio apps.

Featuring a new clock design that stretches and adapts to match the user’s wallpaper. The clock’s font wraps around faces or contours, ensuring visibility without disrupting the image, whether it’s a close-up selfie or a picture of pets. Users can also customize the thickness, size and color of the font to meet their personal taste.

With advanced customization even for FlexWindow, users can easily create a wallpaper by receiving recommendations and auto-curated wallpapers from the Gallery.15 Emojis and background colors are also customizable for FlexWindow Emojis wallpaper.

Samsung is all set to introduce the Galaxy S26 series early next year. Now, it looks like Samsung’s own One UI 8.5 software includes renders of the new Android flagships.

As per the renders, the first render shows a phone with the codenames M1 and M2, while the second image shows a phone with the codename M3. Previous leaks confirm that M1 and M2 apply to the base Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus. Meanwhile, the M3 codename has been linked to the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The renders also seem to suggest that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will indeed have slightly rounder corners. Then again, these renders spotted in leaked One UI 8.5 are crude enough that they don’t even represent the LED flash, so take the accuracy of the finer details with a pinch of salt.

Like the Galaxy S26’s design, which is a refinement of the current S25 series aesthetic, the upcoming One UI 8.5 update is a refinement of the existing One UI 8.0 firmware. They’re both based on Android 16.
