Today, we will only focus on the most recent Galaxy Foldables- Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 devices. As the devices were launched back in August 2022, with Android 12/12L, they got the Android 13 update already, and the One UI 5.1 will also make its way to these devices, as the testing confirmed. Notably, on February 4th, 2023, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 devices were spotted on a testing server with the One UI 5.1 update.
