[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] Samsung Electronics announced on the 18th that it will expand the 'One UI 5' update, a Galaxy software platform applying Google Android 13, to various mobile lineups.

One UI 5 is characterized by enhanced customization features to provide a mobile experience optimized for each individual user, while upgrading usability and privacy protection functions.

Key features include ▲'Call with Text,' which converts voice to text or text to voice during calls ▲'Modes and Routines,' which allows automatic execution of preset actions or settings based on the usage environment and activities.

Samsung Electronics began the One UI 5 update for the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Fold4, released in August this year, starting from the 17th (Korean time). Previous Z Flip series and foldable products such as Z Fold2 and Fold3 are also scheduled to complete updates within this year.

The update will also be applied to the Galaxy S series. Samsung Electronics started the official distribution of 'One UI 5' for the Galaxy S22 series on the 24th of last month, and began updating the S21 series, released last year, from the 8th of this month. The S20 series and Galaxy Note 20 series are also expected to be updated within this month.

Tablet products will also be updated sequentially within this year, starting with the Galaxy Tab S8 released earlier this year, followed by the Tab S7 FE released last year, and the Tab S7 and Tab S6 Lite released in 2020.

Samsung Electronics will also support updates for the Galaxy A series. Including the Galaxy A53 and A33 5G released this year, the A52s 5G and A32 released last year will also be updated sequentially by the end of the year.

This update significantly reduced the time gap from One UI distribution to application compared to before and expanded the scope of application. One UI 5 updates began on the 24th of last month for Galaxy S22 users, approximately two months after the release of 'Google Android 13.'

Samsung Electronics plans to continue strengthening cooperation with Google and listening to user feedback to sustain One UI updates.
