Samsung is planning to release a follow-up to its popular One UI 5 interface, called One UI 5.1. This update will include optimization improvements and new features for enhanced user experience. The S23 family of devices is currently undergoing internal testing and is expected to be among the first to receive the update.
Android manufacturers are in a race to release Android 13 and its related security updates, with Google’s Pixel series already receiving the update. One UI 5.1 will reportedly focus on the bottom of the screen, where touch-enabled features will be easily accessible for the user. In addition, DeX mode will be enhanced for better multitasking and will include a new taskbar.
One of the notable features of One UI 5.1 is the ability to launch apps in independent windows by long clicking on an app’s icon in the recents menu and dragging it. This will improve multitasking and allow for a more seamless user experience.
