Samsung Galaxy Note 9 finally gets the One UI 2.1 update

After months of back and forth with the community, Samsung finally promised Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9 users that their devices would receive the One UI 2.1 update. The software is now making its way to the Galaxy Note 9 in some markets. Galaxy S9 and S9+ users are billed to receive it next week.

Not too long ago, Samsung updated the Galaxy A51 with One UI 2.1, but it was missing a lot of critical features. Thankfully, that is not the case with the Galaxy Note 9. The One UI 2.1 update brings forth all the camera features such as Single Take Mode and Pro Video Mode. Samsung's equivalent of AirDrop -Quick Share and Music Share- is included in the build too. Augmented reality (AR) functions are now consolidated under the new 'AR Zone' tab. Lastly, the software is bundled with the June 2020 Android security patch.

As is the case with most of Samsung's updates, the One UI 2.1 update for the Galaxy Note 9 is being debuted in Germany. A global rollout is expected to follow suit in the coming days.
