Unlocked US S21 ultra still no android 13 update
I have an unlocked S21 Ultra 5G (SM-G998U1) on AT&T Pre-Paid. Last update of any kind was the early October security patch.
ATT claims they released a security patch on 10/31, but I don't have that so it would seem that THEIR release schedule doesn't apply to me. They also have NOT released their One UI 5 update, but again... shouldn't apply to me either.
One reason I always buy unlocked devices is so I can pick my carrier "on a whim". Another reason is specifically to NOT be held to a carrier's update schedule. Clearly, Samsung is happy to pre-load a specific version of the OS when they sell the device but they don't actually take an active role in updates and leave that to the carriers. As much as I can't deal with the phone call/SMS bug on Pixel phones, I may have to go back just to keep my device updated and secure.

Same, I have an unlocked 21+. I got so excited thinking it was finally 14. What a let down. Lol
