Check out One UI 6.1 in action on the Galaxy S23 Ultra!

Samsung is taking an abnormal amount of time to bring the One UI 6.1 update to the masses, but thanks to X/Twitter, owners of the Galaxy S23 Ultra can get an early sneak peek at One UI 6.1 in action.

A video shared by Ice Universe shows a Galaxy S23 Ultra running on the latest version of One UI and provides a demo of some of the changes the update will bring, including smoother UI animations and all of the fancy AI-powered features.

This is our first proper look at One UI 6.1 on a device launched before 2024. It suggests that the update may indeed start rolling out before the month is over. Samsung has said from the beginning that One UI 6.1 is coming in March, but each day that the update doesn't hit the air makes it harder for us to believe that Samsung will pull it off.

The Galaxy S23 series (FE model included), Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup will receive One UI 6.1 first. Other eligible phones and tablets will likely follow soon after, though Samsung has yet to officially say anything on the matter.

While you wait for One UI 6.1 to go live for your device, check out a few tips on the preparations you can make to ensure the update process goes smoothly.
