Samsung One UI 6.1 Update Hits Galaxy S22 Series, Galaxy S21 Series, Older Foldables

Samsung has started rolling out One UI 6.1 to its 2021 and 2022 flagship Galaxy smartphones in South Korea. The Android 14-based custom skin brings several enhancements along with a slew of AI features to the Galaxy S22 family, Galaxy S21 series, and the previous Galaxy foldable phones. However, the older smartphones might not get the entire Galaxy AI suite. The One UI 6.1 update was announced in January with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series. The update was made available to the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in March.

As per multiple posts on Samsung community forums (first spotted by SamMobile), Samsung is rolling out the One UI 6.1 update for the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 4.

The update is currently rolling out to eligible devices in South Korea, though other regions are expected to receive it soon.

With the latest update, Samsung’s 2021 and 2022 flagship S series and Z series phones get access to Galaxy AI features. The changelog shared by users indicates that older models like the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 could only receive the Circle to Search feature as part of the One UI 6.1 update. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 also seems to be getting AI-generated wallpapers and generative AI-powered editing among others.

Users in South Korea can manually check for the update by heading to Settings > Software update > Download and Install. It is recommended to update smartphones while connected to a strong Wi-Fi network as it is a massive update with a size of around 3GB.

The Galaxy S24 family arrived in January with One UI 6.1 preinstalled. The smartphone giant started rolling out the update for the Galaxy S23 family, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and more in late March. It is expected to bring the update to several more older devices like the Galaxy Tab S8 series shortly.

Samsung One UI 6.1.1 Update Tipped to Bring a Video AI Feature for Galaxy Smartphones

Samsung could be gearing up to introduce another artificial intelligence (AI)-powered feature later this year, as per a new leak. A tipster has revealed that the company is planning to introduce a feature dubbed Video AI with the One UI 6.1.1 update. This could be part of Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite of features which was unveiled in January and brought features such as Circle to Search, Live Translation, Interpreter, and more. Notably, Google and Samsung are collaborating to develop new AI features for the Android ecosystem.

According to tipster Ice Universe on X (formerly known as Twitter), the South Korean tech giant is working on a Video AI feature that it plans to ship with the One UI 6.1.1 update. The update is believed to be unveiled at the next Galaxy Unpacked event where the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 are expected to launch. While nothing is known about what this new feature will do, the name does leave some hints to speculate.

The tech giant has added generative AI photo editing features with the Galaxy S24 series that allow users to resize, remove, or reposition objects within the image. However, there are no such features for video editing yet. Video AI could refer to AI-powered editing tools which can make the same edits as the photo editor but for videos. Another possibility could be AI text-to-video generation, however, it is unlikely since this technology is at a very nascent stage with companies such as OpenAI still working on its Sora model.

However, these are just speculations and if such a feature is indeed in the works, details will only be known at the next Galaxy Unpacked event which is rumoured to be held in July. For now, Samsung users with Galaxy AI-supported smartphones can use features such as Circle to Search for quick visual lookups, Chat Assist for improvements to typed messages, Note Assist in Notes app that can summarise, translate, and format the text, and more.

Earlier this month, Samsung confirmed that all its flagship devices from 2022 will get Galaxy AI features with One UI 6.1 starting in May.
