One UI 5.1 with Galaxy S23 or before? Know when and for which device it will rollout
Samsung started distributing the One UI 5.0 update with Android 13 a few days ago, and the rollout is still in process. Now without any late, the South Korean firm has already started the development of its news customized skin which reads the name One UI 5.1. It is expected that it will be the first version update of One UI 5.0 only if the company tends to keep the version number the same (currently, they are not planning to change). Now let’s take a look at its rollout time or eligible device information.
When will the update rollout to Galaxy smartphones?
The One UI 5.1 update will first roll out to the Galaxy S23 series devices, as per the reports. As we all know, the series is currently under wraps and will be introduced in the market soon. The One UI 5.1 rollout may also start after the upcoming flagship’s launch. But, as the respective flagship will take time to be available in the market, the manufacturer will probably launch it to the currently available devices for its speedy rollout.
Which devices are eligible for the update? Know here
Considering the device that will support this new update, Galaxy S23 is expected to be the front head in this row. Besides this upcoming flagship, the One UI 5.1 will surely get support in most of the Galaxy devices launched in or after 2021, particularly flagship and mid-range devices such as Galaxy A52/A53 and Galaxy A72/A73 that are launched during the mentioned span.
In addition to those, it is also expected that select mid-range and flagship devices launched in 2019 and 2020 that are promised to get three major OS updates will also get the support of One UI 5.1. In comparison to its predecessor, One UI 5.0, this new One UI 5.1 update will bring more essential and customizable features with it. Unfortunately, any verified information regarding the update is yet to be confirmed by the company. In order to get frequent information about it, keep an eye on this page.
In a meeting at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Dr. Hon Pak, SVP, and head of Samsung’s Digital Health Team discussed AI, wearables, and their ability to revolutionize healthcare.
The discussion in the meeting emerged around two key themes: first, how advancements such as generative AI could be harnessed to improve healthcare, and second, Samsung’s ability to contribute to the future of healthcare was a key focus, possibly due to their ongoing innovations.
Professor Myung Jin Chung, Director of the Samsung AI Research Center at Samsung Medical Center, highlights the necessity of “lifelog” data assembled by wearable devices for a better understanding of the patient’s medical history. According to him, the future of AI is to extract this information straight from the user’s daily life and offer a better understanding of their health status.
A cardiologist, Dr. Blum, states that it will be better to continue health monitoring through smartwatches, which is key for early disease detection. He also highlights scenarios such as high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation where previous intervention is essential. He believes that smartwatches can offer valuable data for doctors to understand the root causes of the disease whereas AI helps to analyze this data and translate it into actionable insights for patients.
A diabetes specialist, Dr. Klonoff, punctuates the growing use of glucose monitoring, not only for diabetics but also for those pursuing a healthier lifestyle. He also considers it an essential as well as powerful tool when combined with other health data such as sleep, blood pressure, and activity. It is expected that this data, analyzed by wearables and AI, could offer a better understanding of overall metabolic health.
Recent reports reveal that the South Korean giant is also working on the implementation of wearable technologies capable of reading the glucose levels of its users. Apart from this, the giant is also deciding to develop non-invasive solutions for blood glucose monitoring, which would lead the company to get ahead of its long-time rival Apple in this area.
