So did I @olbriar, so did I. See post #3... JANUARY 2026 update. EoL for the S21 series?

The Exynos S21 Ultra, G998B, is still my back-up phone and I would like to extend its life with a custom ROM that gets regular Google Security patch updates but sadly such ROM's are few and far between. Ideally, a custom ROM from Lineage would be my first choice but no such luck so far. :cry:

Mine's roughly the same. Not too shabby after 4.5 years of use.

Spot on @Hadron The, "S", in the Version number, G998BXXSGHYH1, confirms this. I doubt that there will be any further development on the S21's now that they are nearing their EoL I am sad to say.

Samsung have begun rolling out the August 2025 security update for the S21 series on Android 15/One UI 7.

Normally, I switch to the latest and greatest phone on a yearly basis but I am finding it difficult to beat the spec's on this phone with 100W Dual-Cell FlashCharge + 50W Wireless FlashCharge, it charges to 100% in as fast as 31 minutes and its 5,700mAh battery lasts me up to 3 days. Not to...
