One UI 4.1 comes with updates to your favourite features and functions. Every part of the upgrade is produced with your user experience in mind, including UI upgrades, a new Smart Widget feature and updates to the Gallery and Photo Editor as well as S Pen enhancements to increase your productivity.
Before you try the recommendations below, be sure to check if your device’s software and the related apps are updated to the latest version. To update your mobile device’s software, please follow the following steps:
Step 1. Go to Settings > Software update.
Step 2. Tap on Download and install.
Step 3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Innovative Smart Widget
With the introduction of Smart Widget, users can stack up to 7 Smart Widgets (including third party apps) which can be viewed by swiping to the left or right. Smart rotation delivers timely and meaningful information by analysing user contexts and behaviours as well as automatically displays the most relevant stacked widget.
Up to three glance widgets display the most relevant widget depending on the user scenarios and the widgets are shown or dismissed automatically. For example, if you have a Calendar event in the next 30 minutes, an upcoming event widget will appear, informing the user of the event, the remaining time until the event, and the relevant information. The upcoming event widget will automatically disappear if the user taps on the upcoming widget to check the event or if the event time has passed.
Enhanced S Pen and Notes Experience
With the in-app collaboration for Samsung Notes, users can edit a note on one device and use another device to edit, select or change the settings. Users can also easily add a website link and web page with Quick note enhancement.
Although you can enjoy Air command in the pre-loaded Standard mode, try adding Compact mode to use Air command without covering the entire screen.

Gallery has been immensely upgraded and includes a ton of new features to enjoy. You can take professional quality portraits with additional remaster and AI-based tools that have been added to improve your photos.
