Samsung has released a new update for its One Hand Operation + app with version 7.2.21.0. This update is available on the Galaxy Store with a package size of 6.59MB in size. It brings some changes to make the app better and easier to use.
The update brings the removal of some features that are no longer supported. The Smart Select feature has been taken. This feature allowed users to select and share content quickly.
Although this might be disappointing for some, the update is improving the app’s core functions. By removing features that weren’t working well, Samsung aims to make the app more stable and reliable.
In addition, the update fixes an issue related to drag-and-drop actions. Previously, users had issues using One Hand Operation + while dragging and dropping items. Now, users can find it easier to move things around on their devices without problems.
The update also includes general bug fixes and stability improvements. These changes aim to make the app work more smoothly overall and help provide a better user experience.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE gained FCC approval in the US. The development came after the recent listing in the authority’s database. The smartphone has also made its presence in different countries’ certification authorities.
FCC confirms the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE features dual-band Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi 6E support, NFC, Bluetooth, and 5G support. The upcoming smartphone could also be equipped with reverse wireless charging up to 9W.
The certification also disclosed the phone’s height to be 162mm and width to be 77.3mm. However, the measurement of the phone’s thickness is yet to be known. Notably, the Galaxy S23 FE is 8.2mm thick and the S24 is just 7.6mm.
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S24 FE in late September or early October. The Galaxy Z Fold SE is also rumored to be unveiled in a similar timeframe. Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard a lot about the next FE’s key specs.
The device could feature a 6.7-inch screen, larger than the S24 FE’s 6.4-inch. The camera department could also be equivalent to the Z Fold 6. Samsung is also packing it with a larger battery for even longer backup.
The S24 FE could be available in different countries globally. The company could use an underclocked Exynos 2400 chipset internationally. The storage options could include 128GB and 256GB paired with 8GB RAM.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE could not lack S Pen support. The company is preparing to unveil a slimmer and lightweight variant of the Z Fold 6. It is said to ditch digitizers for the reduction in thickness, but without killing stylus input.
Tipster IceUniverse claims that S Pen support is still available in Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE. The company has not used a digitizer on the foldable screen panel to reduce thickness. It’s the component responsible for stylus input on previous Fold models.
It appears like the Korean tech giant may have developed a foldable panel without a digitizer. It is capable of supporting input from S Pen (Galaxy stylus). Despite the S Pen support, a dedicated storage compartment is unlikely in the Fold SE.
Previously, it was understood that the smartphone won’t feature S Pen input. The reason was the removal of the digitizer component. It comes as an exciting input that the stylus will still be supported, suggesting an innovative breakthrough.
With the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung introduced many new AI features. S Pen plays a key role in utilizing those features derived from artificial intelligence. That said, the company is indeed bringing the stylus input functionality with SE.
Recently, it was revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition could get a 200-megapixel camera. The phone is said to be 10.6mm thick when folded and 4.9mm in unfolded state, even after supporting the S Pen and digitizer panel.
