Samsungjust launched theGalaxy Z Fold 6and theGalaxy Z Flip 6with its latest One UI 6.1.1 software on board – complete with the newest Galaxy AI upgrades – and we’ve now got a better idea about which other Galaxy phones might also be in line for the update.
As per a leak from@tarunvats33on social media (lent weight by well-known tipster@UniverseIce), the One UI 6.1.1 update is heading to theGalaxy S22,Galaxy S23, andGalaxy S24handsets, including theSamsung Galaxy S23 FE.
In addition, the software is set to eventually reach theGalaxy Z Fold 4andGalaxy Z Flip 4, theGalaxy Z Fold 5andGalaxy Z Flip 5, and theGalaxy Tab S8andGalaxy Tab S9series of tablets – so devices going back to 2022, essentially.
It’s unclear where this information has come from, so don’t take it as confirmation until there’s an official announcement from Samsung – but it would make sense that phones and tablets from the last couple of years would beeligible for One UI 6.1.1.

For example, there’s a Sketch to Image feature that converts your basic digital scribblings into a fully realized AI-generated picture, as well as Portrait Studio for applying AI enhancements to any portrait shot you’ve got on your phone.
The Live Translation feature works with more apps in One UI 6.1.1, as does the Composer for generating text with AI. Meanwhile, Samsung Notes gets the same transcription, translation, and summarizing options available in Voice Recorder.
