Samsung has released the One UI 5.1.1 update for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3. The rollout began recently and is currently limited to select countries in Europe and Asia, SamMobile reports. Users in other markets, including the US, can expect to receive this update soon.
One UI 5.11 debuted with the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series last month. The latest iteration of Samsung’s custom Android software brings a host of new features and functional improvements to the new foldables and tablets. The company is now pushing compatible features to older models.
With this update, your Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Galaxy Z Flip 3 will offer better app previews on the Recents screen. Switching between pop-up view and split screen is also getting easier. If you have snapped pop-up views to the edge of the screen, restoring them will be a breeze too. Moving files between two apps can now be done with a drag and drop with two hands. Additionally, One UI 5.1.1 brings new health and camera features to the foldable duo.
If you are using a Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Galaxy Z Flip 3 in Europe or Asia, you will receive these features with the One UI 5.1.1 update that carriers firmware build numbers F926BXXU5FWH5 and F711BXXU6FWH3, respectively. The build numbers may vary in other markets, but the changelog will remain the same. As usual, you can check for new updates from the Settings app. Since it’s a major update, the OTA (over the air) package will be huge.
