Checking for One UI 6.1 update? Expect a server error notification

One UI 6.1 is finally hitting the air for Galaxy devices launched before 2024. Starting today, One UI 6.1 is coming to the Galaxy S23 series, the Galaxy S23 FE, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 series, with the update already live in some markets.

One UI 6.1 is an exciting update, and if you own one of the devices mentioned above, you will probably spend the rest of the day spamming the Download and install option in your phone or tablet's Settings » Software update menu until the update actually shows up.

However, you may find that your device notifies you of a network or server error when you try checking for the update. Don't worry, it's not just you: One UI 6.1 started rolling out just a few hours back, and Samsung's servers, as large as they are, may end up being overloaded by the high number of requests from users.

The servers may also be struggling because the One UI 6.1 update is a whopping 3GB download, matching the size of Android 14 and One UI 6.0 combined, which means each download will take longer to finish.

So, while you're waiting, why not direct your attention to the video below and see what One UI 6.1 will look like once it's installed on your device?
