It is unclear if Samsung has added other improvements to the update for Samsung Galaxy Note FE or if it only contains the latest security patch. In any event, Samsung can be lauded for releasing the February 2021 Android security patch so quickly to a phone that was launched more than three years ago.

If you have an eligible Samsung Galaxy S9, Samsung Galaxy S9+, or Samsung Galaxy Note FE but haven't received the update notification yet, you can check for it manually. Head to Settings > System updates > Check for system updates > Download now > Install update. It is possible that it will take a few days to reach your Samsung phone.
