Samsung released One UI 4.0 in late 2021, adding the Material You theming to several Galaxy phones, along with other features from the rest of Android 12. The latest Galaxy S22 series has been launched with the improved One UI version 4.1, which is packed with various new features with bug fixes and optimizations other than 4.0.
Samsung’s One UI 4.1 offers some useful new features for the Galaxy S22, as well as updates to other devices in the future. However, in this article, we will show you how you can use Samsung Pay with Bixby Voice in the latest version of One UI 4.1.
Samsung One UI 4.1 Samsung Pay
Samsung Pay can only store payment cards and loyalty cards, but that is changing in One UI 4.1. Samsung has added support for driving licenses, boarding passes, car keys, movie tickets, and more.
It keeps the app compatible with Google Pay and Apple’s Wallet app. It also looks like Samsung is preparing to merge Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pass with Samsung Pay in the near future.
How to use One UI 4.1-based Samsung Pay with Bixby Voice on your Galaxy S22?
Bixby knows all about Samsung Pay! You can use Bixby to make payments, add cards, and more with the sound of your voice. When Samsung Pay is just “Hey Bixby” away, you do not have to turn around in your wallet for your credit cards!
Use Samsung with voice command
When you can not find your wallet or your hands are full, Bixby can find everything you need.
Pay with Samsung Pay
When you’re ready to use Samsung Pay to make payments, you’ll probably use the most common voice commands. Simply press and hold the Bixby or Side key, or say “Hey, Bixby” and say “Pay.” Samsung Pay will open, and all you need to do is select a card and tap Pay.
Other voice commands that work with Samsung Pay
Bixby can only do that with Samsung Pay! First, open Bixby Voice by holding down Bixby or the Side key, depending on your settings. Tap the Discover icon, then search for Samsung Pay and select.
You will see a list of different things that Bixby can do on Samsung Pay. Tap the arrow next to “You can tell” to see a complete list of commands. For instance, Bixby can help you buy gift cards. Tap one of the commands in the list to see what it does. Now you know in a pinch what to say.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE and Z Flip 7 could pack Exynos 2400e and Exynos 2500
Samsung could pack the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Z Flip 7 with Exynos processors. The company could launch its first affordable foldable phone next year. The device could get a different camera and processor from the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Leaker Jukanlosreve revealed that Samsung could use the Exynos 2400e in the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The former Exynos variant powers the Galaxy S24 FE, while the Exynos 2500 is an upcoming product.
Samsung previously intended to use Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. However, the chip has a major performance difference from its Snapdragon counterpart. This led the company to solely rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the S25 series.
Exynos 2500 is being manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s 3nm process node. The yield rate is quite low (around 20%), which is far from the production threshold. However, Samsung chose the path to produce the chip at such a low yield rate.
Exynos 2400 has proven to be a decent chip with no frustrating flaws. The Exynos 2400e could be used in the Z Flip FE. The “e” model could be made using IPoP (Integrated Package on Package) tech, which is cheaper than the standard method.
Recently, a Korean media outlet reported that Samsung Foundry has started mass production of a 3nm Exynos 2500 chip. It was initially intended to be used in the S25 and S25 Plus, but issues pushed it towards the second-half debut in the Z Flip 7.
