Hello, I just received it. I thought that Samsung was running before or equal to Google's pace, so how is Samsung support, can anyone inform me, it's my first samsumg, thanks

 

[Electronic Punk]

The month of a new flagship always throws things off a bit but dont worry I am sure we will get a February security update any day.
Also waiting for it on my S21 Ultra as well.

Think some devices have started to get this months update, so only a matter of time.

Mate, don't panic. Samsung always delivers us monthly patches, sometimes way early(fg Dec patch in November) in other months you might get it somewhere in the middle of the month. I would not loose my mind because of that, there are various reasons why some patches are "late", but at the end no-one can compare with Samsung regarding udpates speed

 

[iamnotkurtcobain]

Still no one day Update :/

 

[Joloxx9]

Still no one day Update :/

Phone is working great, no rush for update.

 

[joolz1]

Still no one day Update :/

So you'll get an update 3 days later... big deal.
