Samsung updates Galaxy XCover 5 to One UI 6.1 with new features
Samsung is actively working to roll out the One UI 6.1.1 update for all eligible Galaxy devices. In the meantime, the company hasn’t overlooked the Samsung Galaxy XCover 5, which is now receiving the One UI 6.1 update. Though this major update was delayed, users of this rugged smartphone can finally take advantage of several new features.
Right now, the One UI 6.1 update for Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 is available in South Korea and it may take a few days or weeks to reach other countries. Users can identify this update by the build number G525NKXUAEXI1.
One UI 6.1 update introduces features for photo and video management, including AI editing suggestions and image copying. Users get new lock screen widgets, customizable alarm alerts, and sticker support in the Calendar app.
Moreover, the update enhances data security with improved Samsung Cloud services and introduces Passkey for quicker sign-ins. Additional enhancements have been made to the Finder, battery settings, weather widget, Health app, and more.
To install the One UI 6.1 update on your smartphone, go to Settings and scroll to the Software Update section. Open it and select ‘Download and Install’ to apply the update if it’s available.
One UI 6.1 is likely to be the last major feature update for the Galaxy XCover 5. It seems that most mid-range Galaxy devices will directly update from One UI 6.1 to the upcoming One UI 7.0, skipping One UI 6.1.1.
