This year Samsung may shift from its typical release cycle and launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 with OneUI 6.1.1 and delay the release of the Android 15-based OneUI 7. However, the OneUI 6.1.1 itself is projected to be a major upgrade with additional AI features and camera optimization. The news comes from well-known tipster Ice Universe. He claims that the build will be released to the Galaxy S24 series in August. However, he didn’t mention an exact date for that.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 will get new AI features with OneUI 6.1.1
The tipster also adds that Samsung will include a new graffiti generation AI-powered tool in the upcoming One UI 6.1.1 release. According to him, the feature makes “very good use of S Pen and imagination.” The feature could enable users to turn whatever they write using the S Pen into graffiti using AI.
Notably, the AI features that are available in OneUI 6.1 don’t take advantage of the S Pen. Samsung is likely trying to make the most out of the hardware it already offers with Galaxy AI. Samsung could also improve the system animations with the new release.
Samsung typically begins testing the new Android versions around July or August. The company releases a stable build with the latest Android version around October just after the public release of the new Android version. However, according to the tipster, Samsung could delay the release of the Android 15-based OneUI 7. He says “One UI 7 will not arrive very early, because there are special circumstances this year.”
Since the launch, the Galaxy S24 series has yet to receive a significant firmware update. Ice Universe claims that the OneUI 6.1.1 build, which will be rolled out to the series in August, could also bring camera optimizations and address many image processing issues.
