I've deliberately not upgraded to 6, due to people's battery life halving from 5 to 6.

I'll be sure to stay away from 7.

Still getting massive battery life from my s21.

I held off on updating to 6 until a week ago because of reports of people's phones dying after updating to 6. So I jumped straight from 5 to 7.

No regrets, my S22U is snappier than ever and the battery life is slightly improved. They added some settings that I'll actually use and my phone has a fresh look. I've read that they improved the camera app so it now takes better pics, haven't played around with that yet though. Overall fantastic update IMO.

Now that is good news! Thank you. I'll update tonight

omg, so I updated. It went to 6 first, I guess it has to go from 6 to 7.

Except, on my S21FE, it does not update to 7. It says 6.1 is the latest update for it.

So now, my battery runs out in under half a day, and my phone is almost useless for work, unless I keep charging it. I am gutted. It's purely software as I was getting days out of it still before the update.

I even read first, and it says the S1FE does support 7, but, what can you do? The system says I'm on the latest.
