Galaxy devices from 2022 will likely get One UI 6.1.1 a little late

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

September started on an excited note for Samsung fans. The Korean giant finally started rolling out One UI 6.1.1, which debuted on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, to eligible devices.

The Galaxy S24 series is the first to get the One UI 6.1.1 update, and other devices will get it in the coming weeks. Flagship Galaxy smartphones and tablets launched in 2022 are eligible for One UI 6.1.1 as well.

But it appears Samsung's official press release to announce its rollout may have led some people to think otherwise, probably because the press release only mentions the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series.

That's likely because Samsung will restrict the initial rollout to devices launched in 2023 and 2024. The Galaxy S22, Z Fold 4, Flip 4, and Galaxy Tab S8 will also get One UI 6.1.1. Those who own one of those devices will just have to wait longer.

These devices will also get fewer One UI 6.1.1 features, both AI and non-AI. Some of the confirmed features include Motion Clipper, Portrait Studio, Sketch to Image, and the option to create live effect wallpapers from any image. Features like easier file copying and sharing, GIF and sticker creation from clipped images, and easier switching between picture-in-picture and split screen will likely be included as well.

However, it's uncertain if flagship devices launched in 2021 will get One UI 6.1.1. If they do, the list of features and improvements will be extremely small, as they didn't get much with the One UI 6.1 update either. But we'll let you know once we learn more about Samsung's One UI 6.1.1 rollout plans, so stay tuned.
