Samsung Releases Android 12L for Foldables, One UI Watch 4.5 for Galaxy Watch 4

Samsung released two new updates, one for its foldable phones and the other for its smartwatches.

The South Korean tech company just recently rolled out updates to a plethora of their devices. This includes the latest Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldable phones in the Samsung One UI 4.1.1 update.

Aside from that, Samsung also released the One UI Watch 4.5. This will bring the Galaxy Watch 5 series up to date with previous generations of Galaxy foldables and smartwatches.

Samsung's One UI 4.1.1 Update

Samsung releases the latest One UI 4.1.1 from Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4, according to 9To5Google.

The release of the update includes designs that allow users to have the best experience while simultaneously providing better functions and multitasking features.

With One UI 4.1.1, new productivity features are designed to make already powerful devices more intuitive.

The foldable Samsung Galaxy Z now has improved multitasking capabilities, including the ability to drag and drop open windows directly from the taskbar.

Users now have several ways to see their apps and simple view switching options by dragging an app to the side, which now opens a split view, and dragging an app towards the center, which now opens a pop-up view.

A new and better swipe gesture has also been introduced by Samsung. This gesture gives users the ability to swiftly go from full-screen programs to pop-up windows or divide their screen in half in order to manage their duties in a variety of different ways.

In addition, the Galaxy Z series brings the features and capabilities of photography to a whole new level.

Dual Preview is a feature that was developed by Samsung that allows the user and the subject of the photo to view the image simultaneously prior to capturing it. This is accomplished by displaying the image on both the Main Screen and the Cover Screen.

Users are now able to snap high-resolution selfies with the primary camera by using the Rear Cam Selfie feature. This is made possible by the Cover Screen, which provides users with complete control of the camera.

Samsung Galaxy One UI Watch 4.5 Update

Samsung rolls out a plethora of improved features and capabilities in Samsung's smartwatches. This includes the new series of watches and the older ones.

According to Samsung, the Galaxy Watch 4 series now comes with a new palette of colors, and six new watch faces that are colorful and interactive, thanks to the One UI Watch 4.5 update.

It broadens the range of varied layout alternatives that are offered by the series, allowing customers to better accommodate their own lifestyles with the most appropriate form of display.

In addition to the previously available voice recognition and handwriting capabilities, the firm has included a QWERTY keyboard in the Galaxy Watch 4 series.

Samsung adds that it will continue to support its older versions of smartwatches.

Before September ends, Samsung will roll out another software that will allow devices like Galaxy Watch Active 2 and Galaxy Watch 3 to have the updated features of Galaxy Watch 5 series.

The update will add two new watch faces, the Pro analog and Gradient numbers. In addition, it will add blood pressure monitoring, electrocardiogram, snore detection, and Samsung Health Monitor app.
