A new software update is now rolling out to the carrier-locked version of the Galaxy S21 FE. The update comes with firmware version G990USQSDGXJ4 and brings the October 2024 security patch. It fixes over 40 security vulnerabilities that were discovered in the previous software version.

The update is now available on AT&T, DISH, and US Cellular networks in the USA. Other carriers could release the update in the next few days. The factory-unlocked version of the Galaxy S21 FE hasn't received the same security update yet.
