This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Nokia C21. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.
The Nokia C21 in detail
How many years of updates does the Nokia C21 get?
Released in May 2022, the Nokia C21 received security patches until June 2024: 2 years and 1 month in total.
Among the 66 Nokia phones in our database, 11 were supported for less time and 52 for longer. The median is 3 years.
Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.
The last patch came out 2 years and 4 months ago.
Can I keep using the Nokia C21?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after June 2024 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
