Samsung extends One UI 6.1.1 to Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 globally

Samsung’s latest big update One UI 6.1.1 is in the last phase with only a few eligible devices are left for the update. The South Korean tech giant brings One UI 6.1.1 for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 in the US, India, South Korea, and other regions following its release in Europe earlier this week.

One UI 6.1.1 is an important update as it brings many features including AI features to older galaxy devices. However in the case of 2021 Galaxy foldables, they are not getting One UI 6.1.1 AI features. But you will still get the non AI features.

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is getting the update with firmware version F926xXXU8IXH9. Whereas, the update for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 comes with firmware version F711xTBU9IXH9. This may vary depending on your region. Along with some non AI features, the update also brings the September 2024 security patch.
