One ui 6.1 update

[Shakti1]

I have galaxy s23 fe..But I haven't received the 6.1 update yet...I was eagerly waiting for the update..🙂

Your S23fe is most certainly on the list to get the 6.1 update @Shakti1, as you almost certainly know; but the update is a rolling one and some devices will receive it before others with this staggered roll out. I just want to assure you that the update is worth the wait and will make your S23fe seem like a whole new device for you. My EE S23 Ultra in the UK received the update this morning, and I have been blown away by it's new abilities. I hope your update arrives as soon as possible for you, as I genuinely sense both excitement and frustration in your posting. You certainly have a lot to feel excited about though in my opinion. Good luck to you.

@Shakti1 @Babishko Yes, there's certainly a lot to be excited about with the One UI 6.1 update, as it brings with it a host of Galaxy AI features that were initially introduced on the S24 Series.

I just got it on ee UK could still be getting tested by your network also they release it in batches not to overload servers

[Babishko]

Thanks for such a comprehensive list Andrew. It really is so useful to newcomers to OneUI 6.1 like myself. 👍

[AndrewL]

@Babishko: You're welcome. You inspired me to share the details of the upcoming Galaxy AI features, as it's not always clear what customers can expect from an update when it arrives. It's worth noting that many of the new features will need to be manually enabled via Settings > Advanced features > Advanced Intelligence, so that would be my first port of call after completing the update. Enjoy!

Yes, it comes out in batches, they was a report on Sammobile.com site this saying some were getting a network error trying to download the update, apparently it was overloading Samsung's server's so caution is needed here.

As someone who shoots a lot of video Andrew, I have just been playing with the touch to slow mo effect in some of my recorded videos, and then saving the resultant video as a copy. This is an absolute gem for me. I will be playing with this for hours now!..🤣👍

[AndrewL]

@Babishko: I was blown away by the Instant Slow-Mo feature, I must admit. Even if the video wasn't shot at a high frame rate, the Generative AI will essentially add frames to fill in the gaps, so it looks as smooth as it would if you'd shot it in native slow motion or super slow motion. Plus, the ability to just press and hold the screen to enable the effect adds a new level of accessibility to the editing process. Enjoy!

I just received One ui 6.1 update few minutes ago on my s23fe  but yet to update my phone. Will the update improve the terrible battery ?  I have the exynox version
