Here’s a List of Samsung Flagships that Will Get One UI 5.1

The launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S23 flagship devices has likewise ushered in the company’s latest version of One UI, its proprietary Android skin. As such, Samsung has recently announced that several of its older flagship devices will also get the new iteration of One UI, which comes with some new features and optimisations in terms of software and performance.

With that said, One UI 5.1 will be available for several devices, including last year’s Galaxy S22 series devices, Samsung foldables including the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4, the older S21 series, and the Galaxy S20 series. It’s highly suggested that users make sure to install these updates once they show up on their respective devices, which can be checked via the Settings app.

A statement from Janghyun Yoon, Samsung’s EVP and Software Office Senior Executive describes what users can expect from One UI 5.1:

“One UI 5.1 is the up-to-date example of Samsung’s commitment to providing Galaxy users with the latest innovations as soon as possible. Over the past several weeks, we have worked closely with our service providers and carrier partners to bring One UI 5.1 to current Galaxy smartphones and tablets around the world within a few short weeks of the Galaxy S23 series announcement.”

In terms of new features, One UI 5.1 comes with improvements and updates to the Samsung Camera app and Gallery, visual customisation options as well as improvements to ringtones, wallpapers and even fonts, widget functionality, as well as improvements to ecosystem synchronization with other Samsung products. The company says it will begin the rollout for One UI 5.1 for the aforementioned devices, with the Galaxy ZFlip 3 and ZFold 3 to follow in the coming weeks.

In terms of ecosystem integration, the company also says that it has developed One UI to bring greater connectivity throughout its mobile ecosystem – for example, users can enjoy a connected ecosystem across their mobile devices and PC via expanded Multi Control between Samsung’s Galaxy Book laptops and smartphones. This will allow users to share the mouse, keyboard or trackpad of their Galaxy Book not only with their Galaxy tablet but now also with select Galaxy phones, allowing them to copy and paste text and drag and drop images from one device to another seamlessly, for example.

The company says it will begin the rollout for One UI 5.1 for the aforementioned devices, with the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Z Fold3 to follow in the coming weeks.

More recently, Samsung has also announced that its Camera Assistant app will be coming to flagship phones with One UI 5.1 installed on them. Originally unveiled alongside the Galaxy S22, the app will also be available for several phones including the Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21, the newest Galaxy S23 series, and foldable devices including the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4. The feature will be compatible once a user has installed One UI 5.1 on their device, and comes with version number 1.1.00.4. Once One UI 5.1 is installed, Camera Assistant can then be downloaded on the Galaxy Store.

This move ties in with the company’s push towards more competitive camera performance, such as the introduction of its latest ISOCELL HP2 sensor on the Galaxy S23 ultra, which comes with a whopping 200-megapixel resolution. Samsung users should keep an eye out once these new updates are available for their devices.
