Last week, Samsung released the One UI 5.1 update for the 5G model of the original Galaxy Z Flip. The company is now pushing the new One UI version to the LTE model as well. The update is also available for the Galaxy A23, a mid-range phone launched last year.
As of this writing, Samsung’s One UI 5.1 update for the Galaxy Z Flip LTE is currently rolling out to users in Australia. The new firmware build number for the first-ever clamshell foldable Galaxy smartphone in the region is F700FXXUAJWAD (via). The Korean behemoth should globally release the update over the next few days. The handset was sold in the US too, with both carrier-locked and unlocked options. One UI 5.1 should reach all of those phones soon.
That said, even the 5G model hasn’t received the new One UI version anywhere outside Switzerland so far. Samsung released the update in the European country last week but hasn’t expanded the release anywhere else. Hopefully, it will not take much longer. the new firmware version for the Galaxy Z Flip 5G in Europe is F707BXXU7JWAD. It may vary slightly in the US and other markets, but the content will mostly remain the same.
Speaking of content, this update brings plenty of goodies to Samsung’s first-gen Flip models. Firstly, you’re getting the February 2023 Android security patch that fixes more than 50 vulnerabilities across the Galaxy ecosystem. On top of that, there are tons of new features and improvements for your phone. New selfie effects, Shared Family Album, enhanced gestures for efficient multitasking, improved modes and routines, and dynamic widgets are a few major additions.

Samsung’s Galaxy A23 is also getting One UI 5.1
Samsung has also released the One UI 5.1 update for the Galaxy A23. The device is picking up the update with firmware version A235FXXU2CWB4 in Ukraine. It is getting the February security patch and a host of goodies, though not as many as the Galaxy Z Flip or other flagship models. A wider One UI 5.1 rollout for the Galaxy A23 should be just around the corner. The handset wasn’t released in the US.
This is the humblest Galaxy phone to get the new One UI version so far. Part of the 2022 Galaxy A lineup, the device follows premium models Galaxy A33 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, and Galaxy A73 5G in the party. Samsung also released a Galaxy A23 5G last year, which arrived in the US too, but it has yet to get One UI 5.1. We will let you know when the rollout begins for the 5G model of this budget handset.
