After what feels like ages since One UI 6.1 made its debut with the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung is finally ready to release the latest software to existing Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
A lot of Galaxy devices are eligible for One UI 6.1, but Samsung will first make the update available for all Galaxy S23 models (FE included), Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9, with the rollout set to begin on March 28.
For these devices, One UI 6.1 is a pretty major update, as it will make the Galaxy AI experience accessible to a lot more users instead of keeping it exclusive to the Galaxy S24 and flagship phones that launch in the future.

We managed to get early access to the update and were able to take it for a spin on a Galaxy S23 Ultra and a Galaxy Z Fold 5, and through our latest YouTube videos, you can watch One UI 6.1 in action ahead of its official release!
As mentioned, One UI 6.1 is a big update thanks to its AI features. Galaxy AI can summarize long texts and webpages, automatically format text in notes, translate and transcript voice recordings, and fix grammar and spelling mistakes and change the tone of messages while chatting.
In calls, you can use AI to translate voice and text in real-time for yourself and for the person on the other end of the call. When editing images and photos, you can remove objects and move them around. Galaxy AI also lets you create custom wallpapers based on various themes and keywords.
That's not all. One UI 6.1 includes features such as Circle to Search, watching normal videos in the gallery in slow motion, custom alarm backgrounds, and more ways to protect battery health.
One UI 6.1 also brings smoother animations across the user interface. However, full-screen Always On Display image support is not coming to devices launched before the Galaxy S24, as expected.
