Samsung One UI 6.1 update rolling out to Galaxy S23 series this week

Samsung One UI 6.1 might be rolling out soon

• For some users, a notification has appeared announcing that One UI 6.1 is rolling out to the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra starting on March 28th.
• However, it should be noted that the update will be rolling out on that date in China and there's no word on the availability to the rest of the world.
• There are chances the update might at least start rolling out for global markets a few days after the China availability.

Since Samsung officially confirmed the One UI 6.1 will be rolled out by the end of March, the 28th is the last chance for it to fulfil the promise. It is likely that Samsung Z Flip 5, Fold 5, and Tab S9 would be quick to follow in receiving the update. The Samsung Galaxy S22 series might also receive some AI features too.

One UI 6.1 features

• Chat Assist: As the name suggests this uses AI to enhance message tone and translate messages to 13 different languages.
• Interpreter: This relies on a translation service which comes in handy when you are travelling in a foreign to communicate in different languages.
• Live Translate: The Galaxy AI will auto-translate the foreign language and this supports 13 languages, including Korean, Chinese Simplified, Hindi, English, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese.
• Circle to Search with Google: You can hard-press on the home button and then circle on the thing you want to Google about. Google Lens will show results.
• Note Assist: This allows you to create formats, AI-based summaries and translate notes.
• Browsing Assist: This generates a summary of the page you are browsing.
• Transcript Assist:  This transcribes a speech in real time.
• Generative Edit: This allows you to expand the corners of the image by using AI. It auto-fills a matching background and also lets you retouch and remove unwanted people, animals, and objects from a clicked photo.
• Edit Suggestion: This suggests changes to the photo.
• Instant Slow-mo: This allows you to watch pre-recorded normal-speed videos in slow motion by adding extra frames.
