Samsung's latest foldable smartphones — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, which run One UI 6.1.1 with several new features. Rumours suggested that the company will also bring One UI 6.1.1 to its current flagship handsets.
However, the company has typically skipped minor One UI point releases and directly updated them to the next major build of its Android skin. Currently, the South Korean tech giant has confirmed which devices will get One UI 6.1.1 along with the potential features.
Which Galaxy devices are compatible with One UI 6.1.1
Gadinsider has compiled a list of compatible Samsung devices that will receive the One UI 6.1.1 update.
- Galaxy S24 series
- Galaxy S23 series, including S23 FE
- Galaxy S22 series
- Galaxy Z Fold 5
- Galaxy Z Flip 5
- Galaxy Z Fold 4
- Galaxy Z Flip 4
- Galaxy Tab S9
- Galaxy Tab S8
Samsung plans to unveil One UI 6.1.1 before One UI 7 to all its flagship Galaxy phones and tablets launched in the last 2–3 years.
The only notable omission from the list is the Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Flip 3, which got the One UI 6.1 update with limited Galaxy AI features in May.

Samsung is set to upgrade these and other devices not mentioned above directly to Android 15-based One UI 7 later this year or early 2025.
A Samsung Korean community moderator in charge of the camera team has detailed the different One UI 6.1.1 camera features that will come to older Galaxy devices.
The Flip 6's new Auto Zoom and Flex Camcorder features will make their way to the Flip 5. However, not to the Fold 5 due to the form factor differences.
The new Galaxy AI features like Sketch to Image, Live Effect, and Portrait Studio should be offered on all Galaxy devices that get One UI 6.1.1. These features are still under development, and if Samsung runs into some issues, its plans might change.
The moderator did not give a detailed timeframe for One UI 6.1.1's release. Based on Samsung's previous track record, though, the Galaxy S24 and Fold 5/Flip 5 should receive the update in August 2024.
Reportedly, the Korean company has been working on a big camera-focused update for the Galaxy S24 lineup, which may launch next month. The changes in One UI 6.1.1 and other Galaxy AI enhancements will tie in nicely.
