Welcome to the May 2024 Week I of Samsung’s newest updates! This May, Samsung is rolling out fresh updates, bringing the newest features and fixes to your Galaxy devices. No matter how you use your phone or tablet, these updates surely make things more enjoyable. Let’s check out what’s new with Samsung in May 2024 Week I.
Samsung initiated the month with the release of the April 2024 patch for a range of devices, including the Galaxy S20 FE, A24, Tab A8, and more. Also, the company expanded this patch to more Galaxy devices in different markets.
The most notable aspect of this week’s update is the beginning of the One UI 6.1 Phase II rollout. Flagship devices such as the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, and the foldable Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Z Flip 3 began receiving the One UI 6.1 update. This update was anticipated to bring new features and a refreshed interface to enhance the user experience with selected AI features.
However, Samsung encountered some issues with the new software such as device rebooting and lock screen. As a result, the company reportedly temporarily stopped the rollout of One UI 6.1 and reverted the affected devices to the previous One UI 6.0 version.
Looking ahead, Samsung will reportedly begin the One UI 6.1 Phase III rollout on May 14 in Canada. This phase will include the Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy A54, and Galaxy A53.
This week’s updates also extend to the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro, XCover 7, and XCover 6 Pro, which received support for 4G in Europe. This update specifically revises the LTE TDD band support. For devices purchased in Germany, the update will disable TDD 4G network support in ten European countries, aligning with regional network requirements.
As Samsung navigates through these updates, users can expect the stability and innovation that One UI updates promise to deliver.
