    HMD XR21 5G Android 14 Build (V3.210) Update Changelog:

    HMD XR21 5G Android 14 Build update (V3.210) includes an OS update, some new features and visual changes, usability improvements, general UI improvements, system improvements, and security and privacy improvements. Follow the instructions below to download the updates!

    The Android 14 OS update brings new customization features, visual changes, camera/photo quality improvements, usability, security and privacy improvements. Here are some of the major changes and features as mentioned in the official Android 14 changelog.

    Android 14's updated customization picker makes it easy to switch between wallpapers and update what you want to see. You can now set custom lock screen shortcuts, such as a QR reader or the Google Home app, for quick, one-tap access to the controls you use most often right on your Android lock screen.

    Choose from a new curated collection of lock screen templates for fonts, widgets, colors and formats that best suit your style. These options also use artificial intelligence to adjust the screen based on your position. For example, if the weather suddenly turns bad, the weather widget on the lock screen becomes more prominent.

    Android 14 also lets you show off your most creative and artistic self—no artistic skills required. A first for Pixel 8/8 Pro phones, generative AI wallpapers use AI-generated text-image diffusion models to create wallpapers that match your vision. Choose from preset suggestions to create wallpapers like never before with just a few taps.

    If you want a less colorful phone aesthetic that's easy on the eyes, Android 14 includes a monochrome theme that makes minimal colors look elegant and beautiful throughout your device.

    Android also helps improve the quality of your photos and camera. Building on Android 13's support for high dynamic range (HDR) videos, Android 14 supports HDR images with Ultra HDR. Ultra HDR helps photos look their best by bringing out vibrant colors, brighter highlights and darker shadows. Plus, thanks to the great HDR screens available on today's phones, Ultra HDR captures and displays high-resolution photos without changing the original quality of the image.
