The One UI 6.1.1 update was focused more on Galaxy AI features like “Sketch to image,” writing assistance, Samsung Keyboard’s new Composer feature, Live Effects feature, multi-window, and Samsung Health.

Here are One UI 6.1.1 New Samsung Camera Features

Samsung has announced a major update to its camera features with the release of One UI 6.1.1 for select Galaxy devices. This update introduces a range of innovative capabilities that will enhance the photography and media editing experience for users. Let’s jump into the new features.

Flex Cam Upgrade

The popular Flex Cam feature, which takes advantage of foldable devices’ unique form factor, has received some notable improvements:

• Auto Zoom: Previously exclusive to the Z Flip6, this feature is now available on the Z Flip5. It allows the camera to automatically zoom and frame subjects, making it easier to capture great shots hands-free.
• Camcorder-Style Recording: Users can now shoot video like a camcorder when the device is partially folded, offering a nostalgic and fun recording experience.

Note that these Flex Cam enhancements are currently limited to the Z Flip5 and Z Flip6 models.

Instant Slow-Mo Goes HDR

The Instant Slow-Mo feature, which allows users to create dramatic slow-motion effects from regular videos, now supports HDR video formats. This means you can enjoy even more detailed and vibrant slow-motion clips. Additionally, Samsung has improved the user experience:

• A new menu option allows for quick saving of the slow-motion section you’re viewing.
• You can now share your slow-mo creations directly from the viewing screen without needing to save them separately.

This feature is available on the Galaxy Z Fold5/6, Flip5/6, S23/S24 series, and Tab S9 series.

Expert RAW Upgrades Astro Portrait

Astrophotography enthusiasts will love the new Astro Portrait feature, which allows you to capture stunning images combining people and starry skies. Currently available on the S23/S24 series and Z Fold6/Flip6, this feature is set to roll out to other supported devices through an app update.

One UI 6.1.1 New Samsung Gallery Features
