In terms of design, One UI 5.1 did not make any drastic changes to Samsung's proprietary user interface for Android. However, it included a few minor tweaks like independent wallpapers for Modes and Routines, new lock screen customization options, and some minor changes to the sound volume icons and the Media Output interface. The update also included new widgets, such as a dynamic weather widget and an improved Smart suggestions widget, and a new battery widget that supports both the host Galaxy phone or tablet and connected wearable devices.
One UI 5.1 also introduced new features, including enhancing the Gallery's Photo Remaster AI capabilities, enabling custom wallpapers, ringtones, fonts, and touch-sensitivity controls to Modes and Routines, and adding a shared family album to the Gallery app. The Gallery app also received new search features that allow users to find people by tapping their faces, and a revamped info display.
With One UI 5.1, Samsung made it easier for Galaxy devices to connect to Wi-Fi speakers, and Galaxy Book users can share the laptop's mouse, keyboard, and trackpad to control Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Split-Screen and Pop-Up View received a few meaningful tweaks for easier mobile multitasking, such as a "Recent apps" section for multi-window and a new full-screen gesture for Pop-Up View. Even Samsung DeX improved by allowing users to resize two Split-Screen apps simultaneously and with the addition of corner window-snap support.
The One UI 5.1 update was released alongside the Galaxy S23 series on February 1 at Unpacked 2023. Surprisingly, Samsung rolled out the update to older Galaxy devices before the S23 pre-order period had ended, making it one of the quickest firmware updates in the company's history.
