Samsung has now announced which devices are eligible for One UI 5.1.1, its last feature update before it releases One UI 6 later this year. With over a dozen devices eligible for One UI 5.1.1, Samsung has also described some of the changes that the update makes from One UI 5.
Android Galaxy S Smartphone Software

Samsung has announced a release schedule for One UI 5.1.1, its interim update between the One UI 5 and One UI 6. According to the company, One UI 5.1.1 makes various multi-tasking changes, including an overhauled Flex Mode. In a press release, Samsung explains that you can now rearrange Flex Mode Panel icons, which contains shortcuts for features like activating Multi Window or hiding the panel completely.

Additionally, One UI 5.1.1 improves Multi Window by allowing two apps to run simultaneously with Flex Mode enabled. Moreover, the update introduces a pop-up option for the Samsung Browser, which can be triggered without moving away from a current foreground and full-screen app. Samsung adds this pop-up can also be positioned freely and transitioned into a new Multi Window panel.

Furthermore, Samsung has added two-handed drag and drop, a feature that allows you to select files with one hand and share them in another app by tapping its icon on the taskbar. Currently, Samsung hopes to start distributing One UI 5.1.1 globally later this month. For reference, the update should arrive eventually on the following devices, excluding the Galaxy Z Flip5, Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Tab S9 series that debuted with One UI 5.1.1:
