    There's a lot of anticipation for the Galaxy Note 9 One UI 2.1 update. Millions of Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9 users across the globe are waiting for this update to arrive. Its release draws near with each passing day, and we're gradually finding out which features this update will bring.

    It was mentioned before that some features may need to be removed so that the firmware can provide a better user experience on these devices. There's good news, though, as some of the best Galaxy S20 features will indeed be present on One UI 2.1 for these handsets.

    One UI 2.1 for Galaxy Note 9 won't cut these cool features

    A member of the software development team confirmed on Samsung Korea's official forums today that Bixby Routines will not be part of One UI 2.1 for the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9. Many users will be sad that they won't get to experience this very useful feature on their devices.

    If this made alarm bells go off inside your head about the other features that may not make the cut, you will be happy to know that some of the best Galaxy S20 features will be coming with One UI 2.1 for the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9.

    It has been confirmed on the official forums that this update is going to bring new camera features like Single Take, which was introduced with the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Z Flip, and has since been released for other devices. The new camera zoom interface will also be present.

    Music Share and Quick Share are two very useful features that are part and parcel of One UI 2.1. They will also be making their way to these devices. It was also reiterated by a Samsung representative on the forum that work on the Galaxy Note 9 One UI 2.1 update is progressing as per schedule. The team is confident that they will be able to send out the stable version of the software in June.

    Thanks, Jeongchan!
