One UI 5.1 has been rolling out to older Samsung Galaxy devices quickly in the last few weeks. Despite only being an incremental upgrade over 5.0, it carries over several small but useful features from the Galaxy S23 series to its older siblings. Now, the One UI 5.1 release has arrived on a few more Samsung phones, including the Galaxy A73 5G, Galaxy Z Fold 2, and the Galaxy Note 20 family.
Galaxy A73 5G
It wasn’t long ago when Samsung delivered Android 13 with One UI 5.0 to the Galaxy A73 5G, and now a spruced up version of the skin is rolling out to the phone. The update, which is available only in Malaysia at the time of writing, comes in the form of software version A736BXXU3CWB7. Apart from all the One UI 5.1-specific goodies, the release also brings the February 2023 security patches.

Notably, none of the aforementioned updates messes with the bootloader version. This means experienced users should be able to downgrade to an older firmware if they wish.
As always, the OTAs are rolling out in batches. Despite that, you can skip the waiting queue if you are no stranger to PC-based flashing. To do so, download the latest release directly from Samsung’s Firmware Update Server and flash it manually on your Galaxy device.
