As of this writing, One UI 4.1.1 update is available to carrier-locked Galaxy S22 units in the US. The new firmware version for those phones is S90*USQU2AVHB. We can confirm the rollout on Verizon, Comcast, and Xfinity Mobile’s networks. Samsung should soon cover units on other networks and expand the update to unlocked models too. According to the changelog published by Verizon, the Galaxy S22 phones are receiving the ability to rename files sent or received through Private Share with One UI 4.1.1. You can change a file’s name from the three-dot menu for the file in Private Share. There, you will find a new “Edit name” option. Select it to rename the file. The Smart View feature is also getting some improvements with this update. Multi View controls under Smart View now offer several options, including full screen, picture-in-picture, and more. One UI 4.1.1 further enhanced Samsung’s PENUP app. The drawing app is getting a Layer option in Live drawing. The company has also added tolerance for color differences in Drawing. PENUP is best used with the S Pen, so Galaxy S22 Ultra users will love these additions most.
One UI 4.1.1 should roll out to more Galaxy devices
As said earlier, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 shipped with One UI 4.1.1 out of the box. The former has the software built upon Android 12L, a special branch of the Android OS designed for big-screen devices such as big foldables and tablets. It brings exclusive features like a taskbar that isn’t available on smartphones. Samsung recently rolled out the Android 12L-based One UI 4.1.1 update to the Galaxy Tab S8 series. The Korean firm is now seeding the latest version of its custom Android software to the Galaxy S22 series. These phones aren’t getting Android 12L features for obvious reasons. We expect Samsung to roll out this update to some older flagships too. However, the company is nearing the stable release of Android 13-based One UI 5.0. So most Galaxy devices will likely directly jump to One UI 5.0, skipping One UI 4.1.1. We will keep you posted.
