Samsung Galaxy A51 5G, a mid-range smartphone from Samsung, is no exception to this rule. Despite this, the company has given its users a final update, One UI 5.1, before officially ending its support period for this device.

The update brings the firmware version to the A516USQUBGWC1 and, at the same time, also introduces the February 2023 security patches; the update is already being released in the US on the MetroPCS network, which all the others should follow in the coming days.

Galaxy A51 5G One UI 5.1 Features Update

One UI 5.1 takes your phone to the next level with new Gallery features as well as productivity and personalization enhancements.

• Camera and Gallery
  • More powerful search
    You can now search your Gallery for more than one person or subject at the same time. You can even search for people without tagging their names just by tapping their faces.
  • Enhanced image remastering
    Remastering does more to make your pictures look great by removing shadows and reflections. You can also remaster GIFs for better resolution and clarity. Preview has also been improved to make it easier to compare the original picture with the remaster.
  • Create a shared family album
    It’s easier than ever to share pictures with your family. Gallery will recommend pictures to add to your shared family album by recognizing the faces of family members you select. You get 5 GB of storage for each family member (up to 6 people).
  • Revamped info display
    When you swipe up while viewing a picture or video in your Gallery, you can see when and where the picture was taken, which device took the picture, where the picture is stored, and more. Now with a simpler layout.
• Multitasking
  • Easily minimize or switch to full screen
    You can now minimize or maximize an app window without going to the options menu. Just drag one of the corners.
