Starting today, Android 12L is headed to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3. The update comes as part of One UI 4.1.1, the software version that runs on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4. Aside from last year’s foldables, this update will also head to the Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Z Flip/5G, and the original Galaxy Fold. Android 12L and One UI 4.1.1 bring a revamped taskbar experience to Samsung’s foldable big screen, which really enhances the experience, as we explained in our Galaxy Z Fold 4 review. There’s also a pair of new gestures for quick launch into multitasking modes and a custom selfie feature using the cover screen. As for the Galaxy Z Flip 3, One UI 4.1.1 brings better camera controls to the cover screen, as well as new quick settings and “Direct Dial” for some contacts. We covered these new features in our Galaxy Z Flip 4 review. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 4 series is also being updated to Wear OS 3.5, which comes with Samsung’s One UI Watch 4.5 update. Beta testing has been going on for this update on the Galaxy Watch 4 series for the past few months, and it’s what the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro are running out of. What’s new? A big focus is accessibility, and there’s also support for a full QWERTY keyboard in Samsung’s built-in keyboard app. Samsung also notes new watches that started rolling out a while ago. While still based on Tizen, Samsung is also bringing some of these new features to the older Galaxy Watch 3 and Watch Active 2, with two new watch faces and improved snore detection. Samsung says all of these updates are rolling out this week, with a gradual global rollout over the coming weeks.
