Verizon Galaxy S21 Lineup Gets Updated, Presumably Android 12 Bug Fixes

Galaxy S21

Earlier this month, Samsung began pushing the Android 12 system update to Galaxy S21 owners, with Verizon variants getting in on the action first. Now, it appears that what we assume is a bug fixer update, labeled as System Update 12, is hitting Verizon Galaxy S21 lineup devices.

The only thing noted in the changelog is “system enhancements.” Obviously, that’s not helpful at all, hence our guess that there’s a few misc. big fixes inside.

The update is hitting the Verizon Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra today with the following build numbers and still the November Android security patch:

  • Galaxy S21: SP1A.210812.016.G991USQU4BUK9
  • Galaxy S21+: SP1A.210812.016.G996USQU4BUK9
  • Galaxy S21 Ultra: SP1A.210812.016.G998USQU4BUK9

Go snag it and report back, owners!

// Verizon

Cheers Steven!

    the new update caused problems using mobile data on most apps and websites. I say most because Facebook and Google Chrome seem to be working fine, but every other app either lags horribly or does not load on mobile data. Everything works fine on wifi, just not mobile data

    Received a small system update late last night. However, it didn’t solve lag issue and continued to shift to 60 from 120 refresh rate.

    Anyone noticed any system improvements (lag, bugs, etc)?

      I haven’t noticed any improvements yet. Hopefully they fixed Android Auto because the 12 updated totally broke it. I am noticing new bugs though, so that’s fun. Now when I open Chrome it opens to one new tab only, just one tab shows. After I close and reopen it, all my open tabs are there. I also noticed that when I start to scroll up in reddit, it tries to refresh the screen, even if I’m not at the top of the post. I have to scroll down a little, then go up. This doesn’t happen all the time fortunately. Needless to say, I expect to see another update next week to fix all the new broken stuff.

    I have an unlocked S21 Ultra. It’s frustrating that I haven’t gotten the Android 12 update yet.

      Hearing comments like these over the years are what keep me from getting an unlocked (Samsung) phone.

      I got it Monday on my unlocked S21+. It’s really no great shakes.

    Do we have a time table for their other phones yet?

      I think the note 20 line along with the flip and fold three are next up. I think there is a vague December- February time frame for those devices.
