Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced One UI 5.1, which newly unveils with Galaxy S23
series at Galaxy Unpacked 2023, will begin to rollout worldwide for other Galaxy devices
starting with Galaxy S22 series, Z Fold4, Z Flip4, S21 series, and S20 series. With One UI 5.1,
Galaxy devices will deliver a more visually appealing mobile interface with new features that
enable greater creativity and personalization for a more convenient experience overall.
“One UI 5.1 is the up-to-date example of Samsung’s commitment to provide Galaxy users with
the latest innovations as soon as possible,” said EVP and Senior Executive, Software Office,
Janghyun Yoon. “Over the past several weeks, we worked closely with our service providers and
carrier partners to bring One UI 5.1 to current Galaxy smartphones and tablets around the
world within a few short weeks of the launch of the Galaxy S23 series.”
Professional-Quality Camera and More Engaging Gallery
The release of One UI 5.1 expands upon the recently upgraded camera features announced
with Galaxy S23 series. Galaxy users now have greater flexibility to create professional quality
photos with Expert RAW features now available directly as part of the Galaxy Camera app.
Simply select “More” while taking a photo to capture high-quality shots in their raw format,
without processing or compression. Additionally, enhanced AI-based Photo Remaster
automatically improves deteriorated details of images by improving brightness, fine-tuning
details and making color corrections even in backlit scenes. It also removes unwanted shadows
and reflections for a picture-perfect photo – every time.
Enhance Photo Remaster
New navigation improvements also make it easier than ever to find photos within the Gallery
app and create shared family albums. Simply tap a person’s face in a photo to conduct a search
for more images while the Gallery app searches for faces of loved ones to recommend for
family photo albums.
A Unique Mobile Experience Personalized for Every User
Samsung has long been focused on giving Galaxy users greater control over their devices by
customizing various aspects of the user interface. One UI 5.1 delivers several exciting new
features that allow people to fine-tune nearly every aspect of the mobile experience – from
appearance, to communications, actions, and more. Samsung introduced new features that can
understand how devices are being used and make recommendations accordingly. For example,
the new dynamic weather widget analyzes current conditions and creates a custom design that
reflects the climate. Modes and Routines have expanded to enable custom wallpapers,
ringtones, touch sensitivity and fonts that can personalize specific activities for even more

convenience. One UI 5.1 also improves the Smart suggestions widget by adding the ability to
recommend Spotify tracks and playlists based on activities, such as music for road trips or
relaxing.

Greater Convenience through Integration and Connectivity
Samsung also developed One UI to bring greater integration and connectivity throughout the
mobile ecosystem and has introduced features in support of this mission. Partnered with
Google to integrate Samsung Notes with Google Meet, One UI 5.1 enables users to share
documents, edit notes and collaborate at the same time through live sharing during video
conferences with ease.
Users can also enjoy a connected ecosystem across their mobile and PC with expanded multi
control between Galaxy Book and smartphones. This enables users to share the mouse,
keyboard or trackpad of their Galaxy Book not only with their Galaxy tablet, but now also with
select Galaxy phones, allowing them to copy and paste text and drag and drop images from one
device to another seamlessly — as if they’re the same device. A further integration also enables
users browsing with Samsung Internet on their phones to seamlessly continue browsing the
same pages on their PC. These pages can also be opened automatically from one device to the
other, making everyday life that much easier.
