Samsung rolls out Android 12L with One UI 4.1.1 to older foldables
Samsung is now seeding the One UI 4.1.1 update with Android 12L on board to the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Z Fold3.
The update involves a download of 1,500MB and brings a bunch of enhancements for folding phones, like improved multitasking with a new taskbar, as well as options like changing the call background, better search, an option to adjust the motion smoothness. The August 1 security patch is also included.
The older Galaxy Z Fold2, Galaxy Z Fold, and the Galaxy Z Flip are all in line to get the new firmware as well.
The most important features of Android 12L and One UI 4.1.1 are the new taskbar, which automatically appears when you're in the app drawer or in the apps screen and allows you to quickly jump from app to app, quickly open apps in split screen view, and save your favorite split-screen pairs and open them directly.
There's a new two-finger gesture to switch between full and split screen - just swipe inward from the left or right side, or from the bottom of the screen.
