The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 have arrived with a new version of the Samsung cape under their arm: A 6.1.1 user interface. Most of the new foldable-exclusive features are new features in One UI 6.1.1 and some of them will come, via an update, to other Samsung phones.
Samsung will be updating its latest high-end phones to One UI 6.1.1, bringing some of the exciting new features we’ve seen with the latest foldables. These are all the confirmed news we know about One UI 6.1.1.
Auto zoom
When recording with Flex Camera mode on a Galaxy Z Flip, the system can recognize people or animals through AI and Automatically adjust the optimal zoom for recording. This new feature debuted on the Z Flip 6 and will also come to the Flip 5, but not the Fold (since they don’t have Flex mode).

It’s featured in the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 and will come to the Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy Tab S9.
Portrait studio
One of the most fun features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 will also be available on the previous phones, Portrait Studio.

Motion mower
We’re already used to our phones being able to remove the background from a photo and create stickers, but Samsung’s AI goes further since it can do the same thing with videos and generate animated GIFs with background removed.
Astrological portraits
Some phones have both astrophotography and portrait modes, but Samsung offers a mode that combines both. With this, you can get portraits with stars in the background.
Answer suggestions in Chat Assist
Chat Assist has a new tool: suggested answers. As we see in Android Authority, we will be able to ask the AI of Samsung phones to give us some options to respond to a chat message. These responses are generated on the device and we can use them from the external screen of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 or on the watch with One UI 6.
