Samsung rolls out One UI 5.1 update for Galaxy S22 series, Z Fold3 with new weather and camera features

South Korean smartphone-maker Samsung recently announced that it will soon be rolling out a new update, One UI 5.1, globally for the Galaxy devices.

As per Samsung's announcement made on Wednesday, the update will arrive for the Galaxy S22 series, Z Fold4, Z Flip4, S21 series and S20 series. The new One UI 5.1 will also be coming to smartphones under the Galaxy S23 series which was launched by Samsung earlier this month.

Software updates for additional Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3, will also be rolled out soon after in the coming weeks.


"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," Janghyun Yoon, EVP and Senior Executive, Software Office, said in a statement.

With One UI 5.1, all the Galaxy smartphone users will now have greater flexibility to create professional quality photos with Expert RAW features which will now be available directly as part of the Galaxy Camera app.

Additionally, the enhanced AI-based Photo Remaster feature will automatically improve deteriorated details of images by improving brightness, fine-tuning details, and making colour corrections even in backlit scenes. It will also remove unwanted shadows and reflections for a picture-perfect photo.

Moreover, the company also introduced new features that can understand how devices are used and make recommendations accordingly.

The new 'dynamic weather widget' will analyse current conditions and create a custom design that reflects the climate.

One UI 5.1 also enhances the 'Smart Suggestions' widget by allowing it to recommend Spotify tracks and playlists based on the user's activities, such as music for road trips or relaxing.

At the Galaxy Unpacked event held on February 1, Samsung launched the Galaxy S23 and S23+ which come with an iconic rear camera design and work smoothly on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform.
