Samsung is the most generous company when it comes to Android support. Not only does it provide 4 years of updates to a large part of its mobiles, but it is also one of the fastest when it comes to getting new versions. Now, it surprises us again with a new update that promises to improve the experience of its users. One UI 5.1.1 is an intermediate step before reaching Android 14 and these are the novelties that it offers.
The South Korean company is recognized for its long-term updates, which are divided into three types: major (One UI), minor, and security. This methodology ensures continuous improvements and optimal performance on Galaxy devices, while prioritizing user safety. Samsung plans to roll out the long-awaited One UI 6.0 update based on Android 14 later this year, probably in the fall. However, to make the wait more bearable, the company has decided to release the update first. One UI 5.1.1 based on Android 13 versionso it’s important to stay tuned so you don’t miss out on any of the new features.
What’s new in the new Samsung update
The One UI 5.1.1 update promises to bring with it a number of significant improvements, especially for Samsung smartphones and tablets. It has been rumored that the foldable Galaxy Z Flip4 will feature DeX modewhich will allow for an even more versatile and productive experience.
However, not all the details of the update have been officially revealed at the moment, though users can expect a more intuitive interface, improved features, and smoother performance.
One of the most noticeable changes in One UI 5.1.1 is in the quick settings icons. These new icons will be larger, making it easier to use and allowing more precise selection. Until now, the tight spacing between icons often made it difficult to manage. However, with this update, Samsung has listened to the needs of users and has prioritized accessibility and comfort.
Furthermore, it has been announced that a beta phase will soon begin for Android 14 and One UI 6. At the moment, Samsung is not listed among the brands announced for this beta version, although it is certain that the company will offer its trial version in the near future. This will allow users to experience first-hand the new features before the official release.
