Take High-Quality Photos... Samsung Electronics Begins 'One UI 5.1' Update

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] Samsung Electronics announced that it will expand the application of the latest operating system (OS) One UI 5.1, unveiled alongside the Galaxy S23 series, to existing Galaxy models starting from the 16th.

Samsung Electronics supports as many Galaxy users as possible to enjoy the latest mobile experience. This update will be rolled out sequentially, starting with the Galaxy S22 series, as well as the Z Fold4, Z Flip4, S21 series, and S20 series.

One UI 5.1 improves user convenience. It implements a visually enhanced mobile interface and provides a more optimized, personalized mobile experience tailored to individual users.

Yoon Jang-hyun, Vice President of Software at Samsung Electronics’ MX Division, said, "The One UI 5.1 update is Samsung Electronics’ effort to provide Galaxy users with the latest user experience," adding, "We collaborated with partners to deliver the latest OS as quickly as possible after the Galaxy S23 series launch."

Upgraded Camera Features... User-Centered Applications

The One UI 5.1 update offers the latest camera features unveiled with the Galaxy S23 series.

Galaxy users can take professional-level photos using the 'Expert RAW' app. It can be accessed more easily by selecting 'More' in the default camera app, allowing users to shoot high-quality photos in RAW format. The 'Expert RAW' app is supported only on Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, Z Fold4, S21 Ultra, Z Fold3, S20 Ultra, Note20 Ultra, and Z Fold2.

It also provides an enhanced AI-based Photo Remaster feature. This offers various functions to produce the best results, such as brightness improvement, detail adjustment, noise reduction in backlit images, and removal of unwanted shadows and reflections.

The interface has also become more convenient. Users can navigate photos more easily in the Gallery app and create shared family albums. For example, by touching a specific person's face in a photo, the Gallery app finds images containing that person and allows the user to decide whether to include them in the family album.

User-Specific Personalized Mobile Experience... Enhanced Galaxy Connectivity

One UI 5.1 also strengthens personal customization features. Samsung Electronics understands users and recommends various functions based on that understanding.

The new 'Weather Widget' provides various weather-related information through intuitive illustrations based on the user's location. The 'Modes and Routines' feature allows users to select options such as wallpaper, ringtone, touch sensitivity, and font according to specific actions they set. The smart recommendation widget has also been improved; Spotify Premium members can receive music and playlist recommendations that suit activities like driving or relaxing.

Samsung Electronics enhances the user experience connecting the Galaxy device ecosystem through One UI.

With the One UI 5.1 update, Galaxy users can enjoy a connected ecosystem experience spanning mobile and PC through expanded multi-control functions between Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Book. In particular, Galaxy tablets and smartphones can share the Galaxy Book’s mouse, keyboard, and trackpad. This enables seamless operations such as copying and pasting text and dragging and dropping images as if working on a single device. Additionally, users can smoothly continue browsing pages from Samsung Internet on their Galaxy smartphone to their PC. This feature allows users to immediately view web pages they were previously viewing on another device, enhancing everyday convenience.

Meanwhile, the One UI 5.1 software update will be rolled out sequentially starting with the Galaxy S22 series, Z Fold4, Z Flip4, S21 series, and S20 series, with additional Galaxy products such as Galaxy Z Fold3, Z Flip3, and Galaxy Tab S8 scheduled to receive updates by next month.
