A lot of the big new features are AI powered as we saw with the Samsung Galaxy S24 launch in January.

But you won’t be able to get all the fancy new features.

One UI 6.1 was recently rolled out to Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Now it’s headed to the Galaxy S22, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 4, and the Galaxy Tab S8 series.

And according to SamMobile, these are the ten perks you can expect to see from May.
