"The new update is currently being rolled out to users in the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, and Germany,"

It's nothing new that international models receives multiple updates as appropriate.

I'll bet good money that there won't be any update for the US models until March which will be the March security update

Haha..I've seen 2 updates in one month on US unlock so I wouldn't say it's too far fetched.

It happens once in a while very rarely but now being already mid of February and useless US carriers having to certify all updates there is less than 0.001% chance of anything on US models. Also from the article this is addressing mostly issues in exynos S21 and S21 plus models.

"Apparently, this was only a problem for Exynos-powered Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus. Users had reported that putting the phone on Airplane mode fixed the issue, which implies it had something to do with cellular connectivity.

The Snapdragon models and the Exynos-fueled Galaxy S21 Ultra were reportedly not affected."

I can't even download updates so I guess I never have to worry about them lol.

I got it yesterday, nothing noticeably different. Haven't used the camera though.

It's not rare. For example, with the unlocked US Note20 Ultra, there've been 10 firmware updates in the 6 months that the phone has been out:

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra global, Exynos, owners will not notice much difference between the AUB3 February update and this latest, AUB6, release as the issues that it bugfixes, network, battery drain and overheating, only affected the S21 5G and S21+ global models.

So, two February updates in the space of just 8 days demonstrates Samsung's commitment to making their flagship S21 series the best they can be and stamping on any bad publicity that may affect future sales, globally.

Just checked and so far, as with the AUB3 update, this new release has rolled out first to worldwide S21 phone's running Samsung's stock, non carrier branded, firmware first and carrier branded firmwares will show up after the respective carriers have certified them.
