Samsung has launched its next major update, One UI 6.1, for select Galaxy devices. Here’s the full list of phones and tablets being updated.
What’s new in One UI 6.1?
One UI 6.1 is Samsung’s second update built on top of Android 14. Visually, there aren’t many changes, but there are some new features and tweaks.
The big story is around Galaxy AI, Samsung’s suite of AI-enhanced features available throughout the software. Many of these live within Samsung apps, while Google’s Circle to Search is available through a simple long-press of the home button or gesture bar. The full list of Galaxy AI features includes:
- Circle to Search
- Chat Assist
- Interpreter
- Live Translate
- Note Assist
- Transcript Assist
- Browsing Assist
- Generative Edit
- Edit Suggestion
- Instant Slow-Mo
- Generative Wallpaper
- Photo Ambient Wallpaper
Some of these features, though, do vary by device. Photo Ambient Wallpaper is currently exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series, while Instant Slow-Mo is not supported on Galaxy S23 FE.
Other feature changes outside of AI include the removal of Samsung’s three-area gesture navigation and also a new “Battery Protection” feature. These may end up on devices that don’t get Galaxy AI features.

One UI 6.1 is so far only confirmed for 2023 Galaxy smartphones and tablets, and so far only for “flagship” level devices from the Galaxy S, Z, and Tab S series.

Will my Galaxy device get One UI 6.1?
While we only know for a fact that 2023 Galaxy devices are getting this update, it should expand over time to more devices. When it does expand, though, we expect it to be without Galaxy AI features. More than likely, we’ll see the majority of Galaxy devices that got Android 14 (One UI 6) also get updated to One UI 6.1, it just may take a few months.
Samsung has confirmed that One UI 6.1 will be expanding to several more devices, complete with AI features, with the list including:
- Galaxy S22
- Galaxy S22+
- Galaxy S22 Ultra
- Galaxy Z Fold 4
- Galaxy Z Flip 4
- Galaxy Tab S8
- Galaxy Tab S8+
- Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
Those devices will be updated in “early” May, but a specific date has not yet been announced by Samsung.
There are also rumors of the update coming to Galaxy S21, Z Fold 3, and Z Flip 3.
