Following the One UI 5.1.1 beta release from last month, Samsung has now announced the official rollout of One UI 5.1.1 to previous generation Galaxy foldables, tablets and smartwatches. The update is set to arrive on the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 this month, while the Z Fold3, Z Flip3, Z Fold2 and Z Flip are expected to receive the latest One UI build at a later date.
The older foldables are set to gain several features from the newly launched Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 including the customizable toolbar for the Flex Mode panel.
Flex Mode Panel and Multi-Window
The Multi Window mode allows users to open and use two apps simultaneously without interrupting media playback and it’s also coming to older foldables.
The Hidden pop-up feature coming to Z Fold4, Z Flip5 and Tab S8 devices allows you to open apps, reposition their layout, switch between them or assign them to split-screen multitasking with the option to hide them when you’re done.
Hiden pop-up and pop-up view to multi window
Pop-up view to multi window allows users to switch from pop-up apps to two apps on the screen by simply holding down the handle of the pop-up window.
Two-handed drag and drop helps you quickly select multiple files which can then be dragged over to other apps on the taskbar for editing or sending. This feature is coming to Galaxy foldable and tablets.
