Galaxy A71, Galaxy A71 5G One UI 5.1 update: New features
The One UI 5.1 update brings improved search quality to the stock Gallery app. You can now search for more than one person or subject at once and view/edit EXIF files by swiping up an image or video. While the Galaxy A71 seems to have gotten improved image remastering and Shared Family Albums, the Galaxy A71 5G hasn't received them with the One UI 5.1 update.
Both phones can now maximize or minimize apps by dragging their window corners. Split-screen multitasking has gotten easier as the phone now shows frequently used apps first in this mode. The Modes And Routines app now has more features and conditions, including font style, Quick Share, wallpaper, and touch sensitivity settings. The Weather app now displays all the important information in the first fold and has an hourly precipitation graph. It also gets a new dynamic weather widget. The battery widget displays the battery charge level of the phone and its connected devices.
You can now do a common search between browsing history and bookmarks on Samsung Internet. Your recently browsed websites from Samsung Internet can be accessed on your paired Windows 10/11 PC via the Windows Phone Link service. The Settings app shows search suggestions and you can select which folder can be used to save screenshots on these two phones.
