WinFuture originally published the changelog in German, but we used the translation feature available with the Microsoft Edge browser to translate it into English. The One UI 5.1 update will eventually find its way to phones other than the Galaxy S23 series (including the Galaxy S22 series). However, a feature called “AI Restoration” will reportedly only be found in the Galaxy S23 series. This could be similar to the Photo Unblur feature for the Pixel 7 series. Photo Unblur fixes old, blurry photos in the Google Photos app, even those taken with a different camera.
