Samsung's One UI 6.1.1 Update Rolls Out in US, Europe, and India

Samsung's One UI 6.1.1 update is touching down in the US and Europe

Key Takeaways Galaxy AI features like Chat Assist, Composer, and Sketch to Image are now available on more Samsung devices in the US and Europe, starting with the Galaxy S24 series. It's a big 2.8GB download but only includes the August 2024 security patch, not the newer September update from South Korea. The update brings cool new AI tools: Sketch to Image turns doodles into art, Portrait Studio creates illustrations from photos, and Composer AI adds extra functionality. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 have gotten a lot of praise, but it's the exclusive Galaxy AI features that really steal the show. Chat Assist, Composer, and Sketch to Image are some of the most impressive tools. Originally, these features were only available on the latest foldable phones, but Samsung revealed last week that it's expanding them to more devices. Now, these features are rolling out to the Galaxy S24 series and other recent models through a software update in more regions. Related Samsung says One UI 6.1.1 is coming to these Galaxy devices starting next week Try Samsung's goofy Portrait Studio on more devices 3 Recent chatter on Reddit and Samsung's official forum shows the One UI 6.1.1 update is rolling out to devices in the US and Europe (via Android Authority). Even though it's a hefty 2.8GB, it only includes the August 2024 security patch, not the more recent September update that recently dropped in South Korea. The update rollout appears to be starting with the Galaxy S24 series in those regions, but other models should follow soon. Just to clear things up, S24 and S23 devices will get the update labeled as One UI 6.1, while foldables and the Tab S9 series will receive One UI 6.1.1. Close The update is packed with AI features The One UI 6.1.1 update brings a bunch of new AI features, but perhaps the real standout is the Sketch to Image tool. It uses AI to turn rough doodles into impressive artwork. Another handy feature is Portrait Studio, which uses generative AI to transform regular photos into beautiful illustrations. While the Composer AI may not be groundbreaking compared to today's advanced AI chatbots, it's still a handy addition to the phone's capabilities. Additionally, the One UI 6.1.1 update brings real-time interpretation for calls on apps like Google Meet. It also expands translation features to live spoken audio, making real-time language translation easier than ever. Even though there were hints that older 2022 models might get the One UI 6.1.1 update, Samsung hasn't confirmed which devices will get the new Galaxy AI features. If you have a compatible device, check for the update in the Software Update section under Settings. Again, it might still show up as One UI 6.1 unless you're using one of Samsung's foldable phones or tablets.

Good news: Samsung One UI 6.1.1 is now rolling out in the US

The update brings Sketch to Image functionality, PDF translations, and more. Samsung released its One UI 6.1.1 software in Korea last week but revealed that the update would come to North America and Europe on September 9. The day has arrived and the new software is indeed landing in the US and Europe. Users on Samsung's Community forum and Reddit have confirmed the arrival of One UI 6.1.1 in Europe and the US. It seems like Galaxy S24 series owners are getting the update first. Users report that the update weighs in at 2.8GB and brings the August 2024 security patch. The latter is a departure from the Korean update, which brings the September 2024 security patch. In any event, the update brings plenty of additions to the S24 series. This includes Sketch to Image functionality, Listening Mode in the Interpreter app, Composer functionality in the keyboard, PDF translations, and the Portrait Studio feature. Samsung confirmed that the AI features seen in One UI 6.1.1 will also be available on older flagship phones, namely the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 range.

One UI 6.1.1 begins rolling out in US, Europe, and India

After a protracted wait and numerous delays, the One UI 6.1.1 update is now beginning to rollout in the US, Europe, and India for Galaxy S24 units in each region. After confining which devices will be updated as part of Samsung's big IFA 2024 press conference, the initial rollout was limited. However, after just a few short days we are now started to see the One UI 6.1.1 update hit US, European, and Indian shores. According to several posts on Reddit, the One UI 6.1.1 update is hitting devices in India, the UK, and the US. The patch varies in size at almost 3GB but, according to screenshots shared, brings the August 2024 security patch rather than the latest September security update. While we still can't wait to see what the proposed Android 15-based One UI 7.0 overhaul brings, One UI 6.1.1 brings some neat quality of life functionality and AI enhancements of its own. Some of the new AI features include "Listening Mode""" in Interpreter, "Composer" for Chat Assist, and "Suggested Replies" are making the jump from the Galaxy Z Flip 6 to other devices such as the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung Notes is also getting a new function called "PDF Overlay Translation." There are also improvements to Note Assist, while "Sketch to Image" works similarly to the Pixel "Reimagine" function by adding additional content to an existing image based on a rough sketch or drawing. The Korean tech giant has confirmed only the following handsets are set to receive One UI 6.1.1: If you are in one of the regions listed, be sure to check for One UI 6.1.1 by heading to Settings > Software > System updates.
