The IMEI number is also completely new, as well as pre-installed with the latest software version and quality checked by Samsung engineers.

The devices will only have a 128GB internal memory version. Users who book by April 22 will receive a $100 credit for shopping on Samsung.com.

Devices will also receive 4 years of software support and 5 years of security updates. This means that the Galaxy S21 series released in 2021 are eligible for the Android 14 or 15 updates. On the other hand, security patches will keep these devices protected until 2026.
