Samsung has commenced the rollout of the One UI 6.1.1 update for its flagship Galaxy S24 series earlier this week. This update, which was introduced alongside the new Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, is now extending to older flagship and foldable models as well. Here’s a detailed look at what this update entails.
Devices Receiving the Update
The South Korean technology leader has made the One UI 6.1.1 update available for last year’s Galaxy S23 lineup (as reported by AndroidAuthority). This means that the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra from the previous generation are now eligible for this update. Additionally, Samsung has released the update for the earlier Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 models.
Availability & Download Size
At the moment, the update is exclusively available in South Korea. However, a broader release is anticipated in regions such as the US, UK, Asia, and Europe shortly. The One UI 6.1.1 update is substantial, exceeding 2GB in size, so ensure there is sufficient storage space before proceeding with the download and installation.
The firmware versions for the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra are S918NKSU4CXH7/S918NOKR4CXH7/S918NKSU4CXH7, respectively. The Galaxy S23 FE is also receiving the S711NKSU3BXH7 build number. Users in the US can expect the One UI 6.1.1 update on their Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 by the end of this week.
New Features
The One UI 6.1.1 from Samsung is a significant update that introduces numerous new features. Among these are several AI-driven tools through Galaxy AI, including a Composer, Interpreter Listening Mode, Suggested Replies, and Sketch to Image capabilities, among others. Furthermore, the update incorporates the September 2024 Android security patch.
