Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 come with One UI 6.1.1 out of the box. This iteration brings several new features, particularly camera and Galaxy AI features, that will ultimately be made available for current devices as well.
If you're not planning on upgrading to one of the two new foldables immediately, you can rest assured that some of the features will be available to you, as long as you have a fairly recent Samsung flagship phone.

The incharge of camera software development team revealed details about the features that will be released for older devices on Samsung's official forums for South Korea. The Galaxy Z Flip 6's Auto Zoom feature, which automatically zooms in when recording in Flex Camera mode, will be released for the Galaxy Z Flip 5. The Flex Camcorder mode is coming to this model as well.
The ability to instantly share an instant slow-mo video without having to save it as a separate file is coming to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy Tab S9 series. The Generative AI features, including Portrait Studio, Sketch to Image, and Live Effect are all coming to the Galaxy Z Flip and Fold 4/5, Galaxy S22/23/24, Galaxy S23 FE, and Galaxy Tab S8/9 lineups.
Motion Clipper, which lets you create GIFs of people or objects in a motion photo, is coming to the abovementioned devices too. Raw Editor, which enables DNG editing in Galaxy Photo Editor, is also coming to the same devices, only the Galaxy S23 FE is excluded.
It's unclear when Samsung intends to release the One UI 6.1.1 update for these devices, but at least we now know what devices will get this update. There's also a chance that One UI 6.1.1 may be released for some other devices, but we'll only get to know about that, and the features it may bring, a bit later.
