My favorite part of the One UI 5.1 is the Battery Widgets. It shows you the battery status of your phone along with the buds, smartwatches, and other connected devices’ batteries at a glance. It’s available in two forms – Circular and List.
The weather section has more changes, such as the Dynamic Weather widget that provides a summary of the current weather conditions, whereas, the Smart suggestion widget provides you with Spotify music and playlist recommendations that match your activities.
On the other side, the Bixby Text Call feature is now supporting the English language, enabling customers to receive and answer calls conveniently in meetings, classrooms, or other places where they are not able to speak on calls.
Moreover, the One UI 5.1 update makes it easy to change the color tone of selfies through the Effects button on the side of the screen. Into the camera, it also adds a shortcut to launch the Expert RAW app so you capture high-quality pictures effortlessly.
The Samsung Gallery app is also getting many notable changes. It not only improves the picture editing tools but also makes picture sharing and searching easier on the app. At the same time, it improves handling and offers a more convenient information display.
In addition to these, the update also allows users to set different wallpapers on the lock screen and the home screen depending on their current activities, such as work, sports, and others by setting different modes.
Next, the company improved Samsung DeX to make it easy to maximize or minimize windows without opening options. Samsung Internet gets updated with the integration of continuous browsing on another device feature.

Samsung moves closer to One UI 7 Beta release for Galaxy S24
Samsung is rolling out the November 2024 security update for the Galaxy Watch 7 in Europe, after Korea. This update is important as it’s the first security patch for the watch since it was released in July.
Before this, the Galaxy Watch 7 had been criticized for not getting updates on time, with some models still using security patches from months before the watch was even launched.
November 2024 security update is available for Galaxy Watch 7 Bluetooth models (SM-L300, SM-L310) in Europe with firmware version ending with XXU1AXK6. However, not all models are getting the update just yet.
The update is currently not available for the 4G versions of the Galaxy Watch 7 (SM-L305F, SM-L315F) or the Galaxy Watch Ultra (SM-L705F). Samsung is expected to release the update for these models soon.
The fresh update improves the watch’s stability and reliability. The most essential part is that it adds the latest security patch for November 2024 as it makes the device more secure.
Users will have to install a 245 MB software package to install the update. You can also check for the update manually by connecting the watch to your phone, opening the Wearable app then, going to the Watch 7 settings in the app and selecting Update watch software.
