Note: One UI 3.5 will be known as One UI 3.1.1

Starting this year, Samsung introduced the newer version of its custom software system – One UI 3.1. Just like the One UI 3.0, it is also based on the Android 11 operating system. The One UI 3.1 exclusively came pre-installed with the Galaxy S21 series, while nowadays mid-range phones are also coming with this version.

It is worth mentioning that last year Samsung launched the One UI 2.5 version alongside the Galaxy Note 20 series. However, this year things may be changed as the company is not in the mood to launch the Galaxy Note 21 series, and postponed it to next year.

Meanwhile, the South Korean tech giant will surely release another iteration of the One UI, which will also be based on the Android 11 OS. As the new Galaxy Note phones will not be unveiled this year, but the company is rapidly working to introduce innovative foldable smartphones within the third quarter of 2021.

Therefore, some leaks have also confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2/3 will be equipped with the Android 11-based One UI 3.5 version. And just like the previous generations, Samsung will also deliver the One UI 3.5 features to its eligible flagship and mid-range phones as well as tablets via firmware updates.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2 are likely to exclusively come with One UI 3.5 out of the box.

Update:

  • Samsung started One UI 3.5 firmware development for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 (Read More)
  • Firmware development for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 2 has begun! (Read More)

Samsung research reveals accessibility crisis in UK tech market

Published

Samsung

A recent Samsung study shows that the lack of accessibility in design is excluding millions of consumers from products, services, and experiences in the UK. It’s a wake-up call for brands operating in the United Kingdom to revisit the design approach.

Samsung and OnePoll surveyed 1,000 adults with invisible and visible disabilities (accessibility issues) in the UK. The study reveals that over 68% of survey participants have felt excluded from products or services due to accessibility issues.

Key takeaways:

  1. 55% of respondents don’t believe mainstream brands are invested enough in making products that cater to individual needs.
  2. 54% don’t think companies understand which accessibility features are important for consumers with disabilities.
  3. 80% claim major brands could be missing out on millions by not thinking about inclusive design for consumers with disabilities.
  4. 72% of consumers surveyed have abandoned a purchase due to a product’s lack of accessibility.
  5. 56% are willing to pay more if they find a fully accessible product.

The Korean tech giant highlighted that UK tech brands are missing a trick here. The spending power of disabled people and their households – known as the purple pound – is estimated to be worth a staggering £274 billion a year.

Samsung continuously works on enhancing accessibility across its products. From mobile devices to smart TVs and shopping apps to services, all are optimized for people with disability. This user-centric approach inspires many brands out there.

Galaxy phones feature useful and intelligent accessibility features. Samsung also brought universal gestures to Galaxy smartwatches. The brand-new Galaxy Ring is the latest example of Samsung’s commitment to accessibility.
