Last week, we reported that users of the Galaxy A52s 5G were facing issues like their devices slowing down and the battery of the smartphone draining too quickly. These issues arose after Samsung rolled out the Android 12 based One UI 4.0 to these devices.

Now, Samsung has begun rolling out the Android One UI 4.1 update to these devices which will hopefully fix the issues. Along with the A52s, the South Korean giant has also released the One UI 4.1 update for the Galaxy A71 5G and the Galaxy S20 FE 4G. The Galaxy A71 5G has completely skipped the One UI 4.0 update and is directly jumping to One UI 4.1.

The latest update brings plenty of improvements along with the standard bug fixes and the March 2022 security patches to these devices. Some highlight features coming with this update are the Smart Calander and the improved RAM Plus. The Smart Calander reads dates from all messaging apps and allows for easier input in the actual Calendar app. The RAM Plus on the other hand enables virtual memory capability on these devices and now offers a choice of four options between 2GB and 8GB.

The update is said to be live in Europe and South Korea at the moment and will see a wider rollout soon. If you have not received the update yet, you can manually check for the One UI 4.1 update on their Samsung Galaxy handsets by heading to Settings > Software update. Users also have the option to grab the new release directly from Samsung’s Firmware Update Server (FUS) and flash it manually on their Galaxy device.

The Galaxy Z Flip3 is getting it as firmware version F711NKSU2CVC5 in South Korea while in Europe, the firmware version is F711BXXU2CVC5. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold3 is only getting One UI 4.1 in Europe as of now, with firmware version F926NKSU1CVC5 (via SamMobile).

The One UI 4.1 update introduces a number of camera features so users of both devices can expect features like night portrait functions, pet recognition, lighting position editing functions, and an improved Director’s View. There’s also telephoto portrait video, but it’s limited to the Galaxy Z Fold3.

Other additions include Google Duo integration, updates to Samsung Health, Gallery, Keyboard, and Calendar, and more.

Also included is the March 2022 security patch, as already mentioned, which has so far only been released for select Galaxy phones, mostly flagships.

The update may have only rolled out in South Korea and Europe currently, but assuming that it’s bug-free, we should be seeing a wider release quite soon. Still, if you’re impatient then you can check for the update manually by heading over to the Settings app, opening up the About Phone section, and tapping on Software Update.

Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup features configurable virtual RAM support

Jeet — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 13:18:42 +0000

Samsung has finally launched the much-awaited Galaxy S22 series flagship smartphone that comes running the company’s own One UI 4.1 out-of-the-box based on the Android 12 operating system with a focus on improving user experience.

In line with that, the South Korean tech giant has a new feature to enhance the user experience on these newly launched smartphones by allowing users to configure the amount of virtual memory on the devices.

The company has introduced a feature called RAM Plus for the Galaxy lineup of devices that enables users to increase the amount of RAM to improve the phone’s performance. The amount of virtual RAM can be selected out of four options — 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB.

The feature basically allocates some of the phone’s storage phone as virtual RAM. This is similar to Windows allocating a portion of disk storage to use as virtual RAM for a scenario where the physical RAM is insufficient.

Although the feature isn’t new, the Galaxy phones were limited to using only 4GB of storage as virtual RAM but with the One UI 4.1, the company is now allowing the users to choose up to 8GB in case that much memory is needed.

It’s noteworthy that the 4GB storage is selected by default to be used as virtual RAM and while users can change the configuration, there’s no option for disabling this feature on the Samsung Galaxy devices.

Samsung has released the One UI 4.0 custom user interface based on the Android 12 operating system and the company has rolled out the new update for its premium smartphones, including the Galaxy S21, Galaxy Fold 3, and more.

Now, as per the latest report, the South Korean giant is working on a newer version of its custom user interface — One UI 4.1 which will be released with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 series phones.

The Samsung One UI 4.1, which is expected to be a small update, will come pre-installed on the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra/Note models. It is said that the company will also release it for the previous generation Galaxy S-series smartphones as well.

According to a moderator on the Samsung Support Forum, the update will be released for the Galaxy S21 series and the Galaxy Note 20 series smartphones soon after the official announcement or release of the new One UI version.

Currently, the status of the availability of the upcoming One UI 4.1 for the Galaxy S20 series smartphones as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 remains unknown but we expect them to receive the update soon after the Galaxy S21 lineup.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series flagship smartphones are expected to go official in February 2022, just a month after the South Korean company debuts the long-awaited Galaxy S21 FE smartphone in the market.
