For security enhancement, the Korean firm has fixed over 60 related issues and exposures. These include 5 Critical and 35 High levels of CVEs from Google’s Android operating system and 23 Galaxy-specific SVEs that were affecting One UI apps and services.
Besides these, Samsung does not bring any notable new features or changes with this update. Both these foldables recently grabbed the big One UI 5.1 update and their another feature-rich One UI 5.1.1 software is on the way.
Last year, Samsung brought the Android 12L-based One UI 4.1.1 software with a lot of new features to make large-screen easy to use. A similar update is coming this year as well but there is no sign of Android 13L so far. It seems like One UI 5.1.1 will also rely on Android 13.
Moreover, the company is expected to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 smartphones with Android 13-based One UI 5.1.1 software out of the box. The next-gen foldable phones may debut in August this year, whereas the One UI 5.1.1 may be available for older Galaxy devices a month later of launch.
