While the Samsung Galaxy S23 will be announced in a few days, they could arrive with a new version of the Samsung interface, one UI 5.1, based on Android 13. A leak reveals the features that would appear there.

A tradition that is gradually installed at Samsung is to deploy a new version of its One UI interface during the presentation of its latest Galaxy S. The Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Ultra would not derogate from the rule, since they would appear with one UI 5.1 at the Galaxy Unpacked conference which will take place this Wednesday, February 1 at 7 p.m. Wednesday at 7 p.m. The update was spotted by Winfuture and Snoopy Tech on Twitter with the list of changes in the interface based on Android 13. A leak that would reveal all the details of this future version of One Ui.

We expect one to ui 5.1 arrives first on the Galaxy S23, before being available on other Samsung smartphones: the brand has confirmed that it will be used on the flagship models launched from the Galaxy S20.

The changes made by one UI 5.1 (Android 13)

Camera

We can more easily change the color of a selfie thanks to a new button ” Effects “Located on the side of the screen. The Expert RAW application will now be easier to access from the ” Advance »». As a reminder, it allows you to record photos in RAW format, that is to say without treatment or compression, so that they can retouch them deeper.

Gallery

The first novelty is the arrival of the shared family album. The Samsung gallery application can recommend photos to add to it via facial recognition. Up to six people can be added to a shared family album and each has 5 GB of storage.

Another change: automatic processing can henceforth delete shadows and reflections on photos. In addition to that, we can improve the definition of GIF automatically.

On the side of the user interface of the application, watching an image or a video, you can sweep up to see ” where and when the image was taken, on which device, where it is stored »». The search tool allows you to find several people/objects at the same time: you can do it without entering a name, simply by clicking on a face. Last novelty, we can change the destination folder for screenshots (the same for video recordings).

AR Zone and Ar Emoji

The mode ” Mask “Allows you to take photos and videos with up to three people, replacing the faces with emojis. Also, the layout and publishing in AR Doodles is improved with more accessible brushes. We can also resize and move the drawings even after their creation. Finally, the gum tool can erase only a part of a drawing.

Widgets

New widgets arrive in one ui. The first concerns the battery: it allows you to check the battery level of the Galaxy devices, such as the Galaxy Buds, the Galaxy Watch or the S Pen. A function that has been found for a few years on iPhone and iPad. There is also a change in style on the weather widget.

We can also define different wallpapers on the lock screen and the home screen according to activities: work, sport, etc. Finally, one ui 5.1 provides more conditions and actions for scenarios, especially when activating plane mode or connection sharing. Enough to open applications or adjust the audio balance, change the police style, modify the ringtone, etc.

Connectivity

The Samsung Notes application sees simultaneous collaboration arriving with several. We can also more easily invite other people to albums, notes, calendars thanks to the generation of shared links.

The mouse, keyboard and touchpad of galaxy book can now be used on galaxy smartphones and tablets compatible with this version of the interface. This allows you to copy and paste text or move documents. The Samsung Internet browser offers the continuation of navigation by going from smartphone to laptop. Finally, when you display the screen of your Samsung phone on a TV via Smart View, you can deactivate notifications: enough to avoid inconvenience that arrives too frequently (and at worst moment). Besides, we expect Samsung to announce a whole range of Galaxy Book 3 during the Galaxy Unpacked.

Multitasking

One UI 5.1 allows ” Minimize or maximize the application window without going through the settings menu »». The user can just slide one of the corners of the associated contextual window.

Also, in shared screen, ” The applications you use most often are displayed under recently used applications to help you find them faster », We learn in the update document that leaked.

Samsung Dex

Dex mode also improves in one UI 5.1: In shared screen mode, you can slide the separator in the center of the screen to resize two windows at the same time. The update also allows a window in a corner of the screen so that it occupies a quarter, as can be done on Windows for example.

Finally, if you want to listen to music on Wi-Fi-connected speakers via Spotify Connect or integrated chromecast, you can simply go through the multimedia output instead of going to the settings of music streaming applications.
