In Short:
- Samsung’s One UI 6.1.1 update will address side button limitations on Galaxy devices.
- Penup receives an update with import functionality, brush creation options, and canvas flipping.
- While Samsung improves its drawing app, Apple’s iPad Pro remains a strong competitor for creative professionals.
Samsung’s upcoming One UI 6.1.1 update focuses on improving user experience in two key areas. Here’s a breakdown:
1. Enhanced Side Button Functionality:
Many users reported frustration with the side button on the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s cover screen. Previously, it wouldn’t directly launch apps like the calculator. Thankfully, the One UI 6.1.1 update addresses this by enhancing side button functionality, allowing users to perform more actions without unfolding their devices.
2. Penup App Update:
Samsung is making strides with its drawing app, Penup. Version 3.9.16.15 brings several improvements:
- Seamless Importing: Users can now import images directly from their Gallery without them automatically uploading to the “Post” page.
- Brush Creation Options: Penup offers more customization with expanded brush creation options.
- Canvas Flipping: Artists can finally flip their canvas vertically or horizontally while working on their projects.
- Improved Social Features: Users can now reply to comments, fostering a more interactive creative community.
While these updates enhance Samsung’s offerings, Apple’s dominance in the creative space remains unchallenged. Their latest iPad Pro boasts an OLED display, and increased storage capacity, and comes in two sizes (11-inch and 13-inch). However, the hefty price tag makes considering alternatives like Samsung’s devices a wise decision. Choosing the right device ultimately depends on your specific needs and budget.
