Samsung pushed One UI 5.1 to its 2022 flagships last week, and now it’s ready to bring the firmware to older foldable devices. Our own Galaxy Z Fold3 device received a software update notification, bringing a 1406.51MB package with some new features, including access to Expert RAW from the Camera app and better multitasking.
The Galaxy Z Fold3 is a device best known for its incredibly advanced multi-window mode, and Samsung has now made it easier to minimize or switch to full screen with One UI 5.1. The most used apps in split screen can be accessed below, as a toolbar, and there are also some improvements for DeX users.
The update also brings more actions to routines, changing wallpapers based on states, improved weather widgets and more features in the Gallery app, including improved image recovery.
The software update has version number F926BXXU3EWB1 / F926BOXM3EWB1 / F926BXXU3EWB1 and also brings the latest security patch, dated February 2023. First in line for the update should be EU devices, but others should follow very soon.
We also learned that the Galaxy A series jumped the One UI 5.1 train. Reports indicate that the global version of the Galaxy A73 will get the software just three months after it switched to One UI 5.0.
Next in line should be the international Galaxy A33 and Galaxy A53, as the Korean versions were already updated.
