Samsung announces One UI 4.1 upgrade: will you get it too?

with the new Galaxy S22 In the series, Samsung also released One UI 4.1 version. Upgrading will bring the latest version of the interface to more soon Samsung phones† Make a start Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Galaxy Z Fold 3†

Samsung offers One UI 4.1 to many Galaxy phones

Already in December last year We made a prediction (logical) Samsung is launching the Galaxy S22 with One UI 4.1, and then introducing it to a handful of other phones. And indeed, that is exactly what has happened – and will happen. Samsung now lets you know by a press release†

Samsung says it will soon start rolling out One UI 4.1. The first phones to make the leap were the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3. And that’s it Galaxy S21 Series – including Galaxy S21 FE – As you will soon follow it only makes sense to us.

The full list of devices that will receive the upgrade is quite long, and also includes a number of older models:

• Galaxy S21 series: S21, S21 +, S21 Ultra, S21 FE
• Galaxy S20 series: S20, S20 +, S20 Ultra, S20 FE 5G
• Galaxy S10 series: S10, S10e, S10 +
• Note series: Note 10, Note 10+, Note 20, Note 20 Ultra
• Flip Series: Z Flip, Z Flip 5G, Z Flip 3
• Fold Series: Galaxy Fold, Fold 5G, Z Fold 2, Z Fold 3
• Galaxy A series: No specific models named
• Galaxy Tab S series: No specific models named

Samsung doesn’t explicitly mention the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite, although we’re assuming they’re also eligible for the upgrade. Finally, these appeared after the other S10 and Note 10 models. Equally strange is that the S20 is called FE 5G, but not both models are 4G. For now, we’re just assuming the overview is a bit patchy – but we’ll be keeping an eye on it in the near future.

On the Galaxy A series, we expect to upgrade anyway on devices from 2021: Galaxy A12, A22, A32, A52(s), and A72. But we also expect it on (number of) models from 2020: A42, A21s, A31, A41, A51 and A71. These are the devices that also get Android 12, after all.

So we assume that the tablets in the Tab S series receiving One UI 4.1 are the same that have received or will also receive Android 12: Tab S6, Tab S6 Lite and of course the Galaxy Tab S7 models.
