One UI 5.1 will soon roll out; Know which Samsung devices will be get it first [U]
Alongside the Galaxy S23 series, the One UI 5.1 update finally came up front. Official debut means it is now fully prepared to reach all eligible Galaxy lineups. However, the update made its debut with the Galaxy S23 series, and its changelog has also been unveiled, but one thing is still under the hood. Notably, it still needs to be cleared; the update will reach how many Galaxy devices and when. So, let’s find out an answer to it.
Let us inform you that the One UI 5.1 is based on Android version 13, just like its predecessor, One UI 5.0. Hence, it is obvious that the update will reach nearly all Galaxy devices that have Android 13 in it, including smartphones, foldable, and tablets. Undoubtedly, the update will first roll out to the flagship devices of the company and soon will be distributed to the other Galaxy devices.
One UI 5.1 timeline
Samsung has already announced when their One UI 5.1 update will be available for select smartphones. The update is set to roll out in stages, and some devices will see it sooner than others. For those of you who are not on the list, don’t worry; Samsung promises that an OTA (over-the-air) update will be released “soon.”
As per the recent software update schedule of Fido, the first wave of devices to receive the update includes the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy S22 Series on February 22nd, 2023, along with the February SMR update. However, as Fido is a Canadian company, the schedule is for the Canadian market; hence, it is possible that the timing will vary in other markets. For information, on the same day, the Galaxy S22 series will also get the One UI 5.1 update.
Device owners can check for updates by going to Settings>Software Update>Check for Updates. If your device is not on the list and you wish to download and install the update manually, you can go to Samsung’s website and download it there.
If you are wondering when Samsung will start the public rollout of the newly-launched update, so let us tell you that now it won’t take much time. Expectedly, the rollout may occur by March or April.

Samsung fans are eagerly waiting for the new One UI 6 beta updates for their devices, but Samsung is delaying it; amid this, the company has started distributing its new update for the Galaxy devices. Currently, the Galaxy S20FE devices are receiving the update in the form August 2023 security patch.
The latest security patch doesn’t bring any innovation to the device, but it brings some minor increment for the improvements of the security of the devices. At the moment, Samsung still needs to publish a detailed bulletin of the update, so we can’t say exactly how many fixes were made in this update.
The August security patch is now rolling out in some countries, including Panama, Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala, Paraguay, and Trinidad & Tobago. All the Galaxy S20FE users who belong to the mentioned countries will get the update through OTA.
The new update for Galaxy S20FE is now live in the countries mentioned above, but due to the limitation of the server, it will be distributed to users batch-wise, which means some users will get it on the same day of release while others will get it in the next few days.
Users who own S20FE should get the notification on their devices shortly; once the notification arrives, you can easily update your device by tapping it and installing it through the software update menu. Alternatively, users can check the update availability manually by going to the software update option by the device’s main Settings.
After successfully organizing the unpacked event, now Samsung is actively rolling out the July 2023 security update for its devices. Currently, the update is live for Galaxy A33 5G. The latest update doesn’t bring any new features but comes as maintenance for the Galaxy devices.
