OneUI 5.1 is the latest version of Samsung’s software, based on Android 13, which is now rolling out to a certain set of Galaxy flagships, including the Galaxy S22 series, Z Flip 4, Z Fold 4, and more. The new update adds more features to the already feature-rich Android skin, including new dynamic weather and battery widgets, Expert RAW integration into the camera App and more.
New features in OneUI 5.1
With One UI 5.1, Galaxy devices will deliver a more visually appealing interface with new features that enable greater creativity and personalization for a more convenient experience overall, says Samsung. One UI 5.1 expands upon the recently upgraded camera features announced with the Galaxy S23 series.
Samsung’s Expert RAW app, that provides deeper customisation for photo characteristics while shooting, is now available directly as part of the Galaxy Camera app. One cam select “More” while taking a photo to capture high-quality shots in their raw format. Additionally, enhanced AI-based Photo Remaster automatically improves deteriorated details of images by improving brightness, fine-tuning details, and making colour corrections even in backlit scenes. It also removes unwanted shadows and reflections for a picture-perfect photo.
New navigation improvements also make it easier to find photos within the Gallery app and create shared family albums. Samsung also introduced new features that can understand how devices are used and make recommendations accordingly. For example, the new dynamic weather widget analyzes current conditions and creates a custom design that reflects the climate.

One UI 5.1 also improves the Smart suggestions widget by adding the ability to recommend Spotify tracks and playlists based on users’ activities.
Users can 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.
