Samsung One UI 6.1 update may roll out this week

Samsung announced an update to its AI-powered software, One UI 6.1, in February for older devices like the Galaxy S23. Now, it looks like we're finally getting closer to the launch.

One UI 6.1 is the software that comes out of the box on the Galaxy S24. It makes a number of changes to the system, but mainly focuses on AI features. Samsung announced during its Unpacked event that many of these features would be coming to 2023 Galaxy devices, and later confirmed (and then reiterated) that the update would be available sometime in March 2024.

And with the deadline coming to an end next weekend, it looks like Samsung is finally ready to get things moving.

For some users, a notification has appeared announcing that One UI 6.1 will be rolling out to the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra starting March 28. The notification was highlighted by Samsung enthusiast Tarun Vats On Twitter/X.

Unfortunately, the notification only directly confirms that the update will be rolled out on that date in China. There is no information on when it may be available to the rest of the world.

However, it seems likely that this date will at least mark the start of the global rollout. For example, March 28 is the last Thursday of the month, for Samsung usually The update begins rolling out mid-week. This will also be the last chance Samsung has to fulfill its previous promise of “late March”. Moreover, the same date is mentioned By Samsung Vietnam recently.

So, by all accounts, it definitely looks like Samsung will launch One UI 6.1 for the Galaxy S23 series later this week. After that, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Fold 5, and Tab S9 will likely follow quickly. The Galaxy S22 series will also likely be updated with some AI features as well.
