Samsung has just launched the OneUI 6.1 update for the Galaxy S21 series devices in Europe, US, and its home country over the past couple of days. Now the company has released the update in India. Surprisingly, the devices from early 2021 are also getting some of the company’s recently released Galaxy AI features.

The firmware version of the update for the three models is – G996BXXUAGXDA / G996BOXMAGXDA / G996BXXUAGXDA. The update is around 2.2GB in size and also contains the April security patch. Notably, the Galaxy S21FE has not received the update yet.

Galaxy S21 gets Circle to Search and some other AI features with the update

The OneUI 6.1 brings one Galaxy AI feature to the S21 series – Circle to Search. For those unfamiliar, it lets you circle around an object on your screen that you want to know more about. Without leaving the app you can easily search for things you see, copy text from images, and more.

You can tap and hold the home button or the Navigation Handel (depending on which setting you are using) to activate the feature.

With the new update, the latest version of the built-in Gallery app also gets some AI-powered image editing features. Upon tapping the ‘i’ button below an image, you’ll get recommendations such as colorize, star trail, and more. Now the Gallery app also lets you copy an object from an image and paste it somewhere else.

The built-in video editor also has some new features. Now you can change the video playback speed of an entire video or a part of it. The video editor also lets you export files to other Galaxy devices and continue the editing there.

You can also apply frames and effects to the wallpaper such as blurring the background around the subject.

In addition, Samsung Health now lets you compete with yourself through your previous workout records. The Calendar app now lets you add two custom stickers for each date. The Reminders app lets you pin frequently used categories.
