New Samsung One UI 5.1 screenshot feature is handy
Samsung One UI 5.1 is a massive performance booster for Galaxy devices and there’s one hidden screenshot feature that comes in handy.
This new screenshot feature appears as an addition to your brand-new Samsung One UI 5.1. Once installed, you can find it in the quick settings.
But first, you need to do some customizations. Navigate to your phone’s home screen and drop down the quick settings. Next, you need to tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.
Select “Edit buttons”. From the available buttons area, tap and hold on to the “Take screenshot” button. Do remember that you need to touch and hold (simultaneously) and drag the button among the quick settings icons.
You can reposition the button at the same time. Once positioned, you will have to touch “Done” in the bottom right corner to finalize the changes. There you have it, your new screenshot button in easy to access place.
Take a quick Screenshot:
For me, the screenshot is a time-saving and easy-to-send information feature. And I think a lot of users would agree with me on this subject.
Therefore, the entry of a quick screenshot button inside the quick setting made things easy. Also, it has reduced some burden on those physical side keys that I need to press to get the job done.
Yes, the palm swipe to capture is there but I have a hard time using that feature.
Now, all I need to do is to open the quick settings panel and touch on the added ‘Take screenshot’ button and it will capture the screen for me.
This is what I’ve looking for and now, as a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, One UI 5.1 made the screenshot process so easy that I only need to fetch out S Pen when there’s a need to mark something special.
Otherwise, you are ready to take a screenshot, anytime anywhere.

Google is expected to begin Android 14’s Public Beta program at its I/O 2023 event (May 10). Samsung, on the other hand, may start the One UI 6.0 Beta program for Galaxy devices sometime after the official launch of the new operating system.
The Korean tech titan’s recently launched Galaxy S23 lineup would be the first to get the One UI 6.0 Beta update. Later on, Samsung is likely to expand the Beta program to the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 series along with the upcoming and older foldable phones.
The Stable One UI 6.0 update would start rolling out in October 2023, with Samsung may take about three months to gain the stability milestone through its Beta testing. In case the company manages to begin the Beta program by August, we may see the official One UI 6.0 rollout by October.
Last year, the South Korean tech giant started the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 Beta program in early August. With a quite short delay, the company managed to deploy the official One UI 5.0 firmware in late October and rapidly expanded to several models within a month.
We believe Samsung may not make us wait too long for the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 Beta preview. Timeline aside, the Beta program may be available for several Galaxy devices, with some mid-range Galaxy A and M series would be included.
Samsung One UI 6.0 Beta Galaxy Devices:
- S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra
- S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra
- Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4
- S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra
- Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3
Note:
- Availability may be limited to select markets.
- The list is based on the previous rollout and Samsung’s software strategy.
- Select A and M series phones may also get access to the One UI 6.0 Beta program.
