New multitasking and Flex Mode capabilities

The One UI 5.1.1 update brings similar features and changes to both the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, although some additions are specific to each device.

Both foldable phones now benefit from improved multitasking thanks to:

  • Better app previews on the Recents screen
  • Easily switch from pop-up view to split screen
  • Restore pop-ups snapped to the edge of the screen

However, the Galaxy Z Fold 3, specifically, also benefits from a new feature that lets users hover the S Pen above a floating app icon to see a preview of the app.

Both phones can now use more apps in Flex Mode, and offer a customizable Flex Mode toolbar along with improved Flex Mode media controls.

Likewise, both devices boast an improved Quick Share feature and better Samsung Health with:

  • Improved Sleep coaching
  • More meaningful sleep data
  • Skin temperature measurements during sleep
  • Better workout summaries
  • Improved goals, rewards, and badges

In the Camera and Gallery department, the One UI 5.1.1 update for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 adds the following:

  • More date and time styles for watermarks
  • Enhanced remaster previews
  • Effects are easier to apply
  • Users can now copy-paste filters and tones from one picture to another

Once again, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 takes advantage of a couple of exclusive features, including an enhanced Flex Mode layout for the camera's Pro modes and a new option to select multiple pictures in Capture View.

Last but not least, even though only the Galaxy Z Fold 3 now lets you charge your Galaxy Buds or Galaxy Watch while you continue using the phone's cover screen, One UI 5.1.1 adds the following features to both phones:

  • Drag and drop with two hands
  • App cache information and management in My Files
  • Enhanced memory management in Device Care
  • Mode change options from the lock screen
  • Samsung Internet layout improvements
