Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Flip3 One UI 6.1.1 update has no new AI features

AI is the buzzword of the year for sure, and it's also something a lot of smartphone makers (hi, Apple) are trying to gatekeep, only making it available on their latest devices. Samsung is kind of playing the same game too, it seems, but far less egregiously.

Still, it's worth noting that the update to One UI 6.1.1 which brought new AI features to newer foldables is now rolling out to the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 without those new AI features like Sketch to Image and PDF Overlay. There's also no Instant Slow-mo either.

The update is a 2.2GB download, is identified by a string which ends with XH9, and will also give you the September 2024 security patch level. Despite its lack of new AI stuff, it does bring some new features, like a new way to answer incoming calls, the ability to double-tap the right side of the screen to move forward in videos, and a more powerful Auto Blocker with better protection against malware and security threats. You can even move a picture-in-picture window to split-screen view by dragging it to the side you want it on.

The changelog also highlights a lot of Samsung Health-related improvements, with a more detailed sleep analysis, new Wellness tips, and the ability to create your very own workout routines.

The new update is currently rolling out in Europe, and will surely expand to more markets in the coming days and weeks.
