Due to the success of Samsung’s One UI 5.0 rollout, the company probably has One UI 5.1 well ahead of schedule. Unless Samsung decides otherwise, One UI 5.1 should be the first version update to One UI 5.0 though the company has recently confirmed that Samsung will not alter the version numbering scheme.

Based on Samsung’s track record with One UI updates, we can speculate that the Galaxy S23 series will serve as the launch platform for One UI 5.1. One UI 5.1 will introduce new features that, won’t be available on older Samsung smartphones and tablets.
The Galaxy S23 hits retail shelves, and Samsung will likely apply the new features from One UI 5.1 to older devices. With the rapid deployment of the One UI 5.0 update, users can expect the rolling out of One UI 5.1 to existing devices before S23.
Which Galaxy devices will be updated with One UI 5.1?
Additionally, the list of devices that are eligible for the update is currently unknown. Having said that, we can rest assured that the majority of Galaxy smartphones that will be released in 2021 and 2022 will be eligible for One UI 5.1, particularly all flagship and mid-range models like the Galaxy A52/A53 and A72/A73.
Even though they may have already received their last significant Android OS upgrade, it could also apply to mid-range and flagship Galaxy phones that were introduced in 2019 and 2020 and were promised three generations of OS upgrades.
