Samsung is going to release One UI 4.1.1 based on Android 12L on August 10 at Galaxy Unpacked event. This One UI version will firstly come with the upcoming two foldable smartphones – Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4.
Based on Android 12L, One UI 4.1.1 will bring significant features and improvements. Notably, several stock apps including Galaxy Themes, One Hand Operation +, Nice Catch, MutilStar, and Home Up already received One UI 4.1.1 support.
One UI 5.0
Earlier in July, Samsung internally started the One UI 5.0 beta program based on Android 13, and it may be available for Galaxy device users soon. Obviously, this brings several new features and improvements. Take the first look at One UI 5.0 features here…
Users of Galaxy smartphones running Samsung‘s One UI 6.1 have reported that they are unable to delete the Secure Folder app after installing its update. This issue is mainly affecting flagship devices that recently received the One UI 6.1 update. Due to this issue, users are not able to use this app at their convenience.
However, Samsung has acknowledged the issue with the Secure Folder app in its latest One UI 6.1 update. This issue affects several flagship devices including the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9.
According to the community moderator, the issue occurred while integrating the latest Google security policies, resulting in the distribution of a non-deletable version of the Secure Folder app, specifically version 1.9.10.27.
The Korean tech giant is preparing to release a fix to address this problem. Users will be able to download the updated app through the Galaxy Store. To update, simply open the Galaxy Store, search for ‘Secure Folder’, and select the update option.
Users are encouraged to update their Secure Folder app as soon as the new version is available to maintain optimal performance and security of their personal data.

Samsung‘s One UI 6.1 brings support for several new features to enhance the Galaxy Camera experience and one of them is the Natural Density (ND) filter. This feature was once exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series, introduced with the first One UI 6.1-based update. And now, it is available on the Galaxy S23 series and Fold 5, enhancing mobile photography.
The ND filter allows amazing control over the lighting in photos, mirroring the functionality of professional camera filters. This is especially useful for outdoor settings where lighting can vary considerably.
With settings ranging from ND2 to ND1000, users can easily adjust exposure to capture the perfect shot, regardless of lighting conditions. You can adjust the lighting on your smartphone camera very practically and easily.
This camera feature simplifies the process of taking high-quality, full-body photos of outfits, which is often challenging due to fluctuations in natural lighting. The ability to adjust filters directly from the camera preview screen enhances the convenience, making it accessible to all users.
The Natural Density (ND) filter eliminates the need for external accessories and complex editing on One UI 6.1 running devices as it allows users to achieve professional-grade photography with just a few taps.
