One UI 4.1.1 brings a bunch of new features that Samsung debuted on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 last month. You get the ability to extract text from images. This feature comes in handy when someone sends you a photo of a business card. You can not only extract the phone number or website in it but also directly place a call or visit that website from the gallery app. No need to note the information down anywhere. For big-screen devices, i. e. the likes of the Galaxy Z Fold 2, One UI 4.1.1 also brings Android 12L. The latter is a branch of Android purposefully built for these kinds of devices. It leverages the extra screen space for improved user experience. You get a persistent taskbar that lets you pin apps for easy switching. You can create app pairs and pin them to the taskbar to open in split screen mode with just a tap. Samsung has also added new gestures for entering split-screen and pop-up modes. The Galaxy Z Flip, Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 are also getting PC-style touch control when using the devices in Flex mode. Last but not least, One UI 4.1.1 brings new and improved gestures, an improved Samsung Keyboard with a customizable spacebar, different call background for each contact, and app names in the Edge panel.
