    One UI 6.1.1 Update
    Galaxy AI

    Turn simple sketches into awesome images
    Start with a simple drawing, choose your style, and let Galaxy AI transform it into a captivating work of art. Sketch to image is available in Samsung Notes, Photo Editor, Air command, Smart select, and the Edge panels.

    Create unique portraits
    With a wide variety of AI-generated portrait styles, you can create a whole new look for your own profile image in Contacts or someone else’s, or use Photo Editor to invent something new for any of your photos that have faces in them.

    Let your phone do the writing for you
    When you need to write something, whether it’s a text, an email, or a social media post, you can start by giving Samsung Keyboard's new Composer a short request or snippet of text, then let Galaxy AI do the rest.

    Translate calls in more apps
    Simply talk over the phone and get translation in real time, helping you break down language barriers. And now, in addition to the Samsung Phone app, you can get real-time translation in supported voice calling apps like Google Meet and WhatsApp. During a call, tap Live translate in the quick panel to start translating.

    Translate image text on webpages
    Get the entire webpage in your language. When you translate a webpage in Samsung Internet, all of the text on the page gets translated, whether it’s formatted as text or part of an image or photo.

    Translate in Listening mode

    It’s easier than ever before to create notes with Samsung Notes, even using just your voice. You can now transcribe voice recordings into text notes that you can edit, summarize, and more.

    Translate and summarize PDFs
    Note assist's translation and summary features now work with PDF files without the need to convert them to notes first. Translated text will appear in the original format of the PDF.

    Auto detect languages in Voice Recorder
    Use Transcript assist to convert recordings of meetings, lectures, voice memos, and more into text. The language of your recording will now be automatically detected, so you can skip the language choice and go right to the transcript.

    Edit voice recordings and transcripts
    After you create a transcript in Voice Recorder, you can now edit the text to fix any errors, remove unneeded parts, or add something that’s missing. You can also edit the audio recording itself by removing sections you don't need.

    Bring photos to life with Live effects
    Give your subjects a lifelike appearance by applying stunning cinematic effects to people and animals in your photos.

    Enhanced multi window experience
    It's easier than ever to switch between picture-in-picture and split screen. Touch and hold a video playing in picture-in-picture, then drag it to the side of the screen where you want to play it.

    Easier file copying and moving
    It's easier than ever to find the right folder when copying or moving files in My Files. You can now choose the destination folder in a pop-up window so you can easily return the original folder when you're finished.

    Create file shortcuts on the Home screen

    Improved thumbnail image display
    See how images will appear before you open them. Thumbnail images for pictures and videos in My Files now appear in the original aspect ratio.

    Highlight your schedule
    Mark important dates on your calendar quickly and neatly. Use the straight-line highlighter with your S Pen to mark important dates on your calendar in month view. You can also now erase highlighted sections without erasing other pen marks.

    Automate your watch with modes and routines
    Modes you set up on your phone, such as Sleep mode, Exercise mode, or Theater mode, can now automatically control more of your watch's settings based on what you’re doing or where you are. In addition to Watch faces and Do not disturb, modes can now also control Always On Display, Raise wrist to wake, Touch screen to wake, Turn bezel to wake, Sound mode, and Disconnection alerts. You can also use routines to control these watch actions.

    More message filtering options
    When you create a routine that starts when you receive a message or notification, you now have more fine-tuned control. You can add multiple keywords and choose to start the routine when all keywords are included or when any keyword is included in the message or notification.

    Even more improvements

    Design and share your profile card
    Design your own profile card with your name and picture that other Galaxy users can see when you call them or when they view your contact info. You can also create profile cards for other people in your contacts so you can see their card when they call you.

    If you have difficulty swiping, you can set your phone to answer calls with a simple tap of a button.

    Answer all calls using the speaker
    Enjoy easier hands-free calls. If you prefer taking calls on the speaker, a new setting lets you answer all calls on the speaker by default instead of manually switching for each call.

    Get frequent weather updates
    Stay prepared for sudden weather changes. Weather information now automatically updates at least once every hour to make sure you always have the latest forecasts.

    Extra-strong security
    If you have special security needs, you can now set Auto Blocker to apply maximum restrictions to get the highest level of protection against malware and security threats. Hyperlinks and automatic downloading attachments in messages are blocked, location data is removed when sharing pictures, and shared albums in Gallery can't be used.

    Download the package for your region (CSC) and unzip it. In Odin, load each file into the slot with the same name: BL, AP, CP (if the package has one) and CSC, or HOME_CSC to keep your data. Odin checks the built-in checksum of every .tar.md5 file before flashing. The download is 9.756 GiB; keep about twice that free on the computer to unzip it. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 must be on bootloader binary 4 or lower.

    This build uses bootloader binary 4. It can be flashed on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 running binary 4 or lower; if the device already has a higher binary, Odin stops with "SW REV CHECK FAIL". 4 other builds of this model use the same binary, so you can switch between them in both directions.
