Since launch, users have reportedly complained about shutter lag and poor zoom quality on Samsung’s flagship smartphone.

The tipster suggested that the One UI 6.1.1 update is still in its early stages and will undergo testing for quite some time before it is released to the public.
The update is expected to arrive after Samsung launches its flagship foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, which is likely to happen in July 2024.
Past updates
Over the past few weeks, Samsung has brought several features that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series to its other smartphones. One of the main introductions was Galaxy AI, the company’s suite of artificial intelligence (AI) features.
With the One UI 6.1 update, up to 10 of these AI-powered features have been introduced to the Galaxy S and Z series of smartphones.
