You can post what you feel about the update here .
For me
1) qr code in camera app is way faster
2) camera doesnt heat up the phone now
3) gaming also runs cooler
4) animations are better
5) expect an sot of 1h more than you got with april update.
Looking for more changes ..
Tell me in comment .
I think samsung is doing a great job ,
I was about to trade off my s21 ultra with mi 11 ultra , but this update has stopped me doing so.
I can't wait until my phone recieve the update.
This is so promising that samsung still fixing and adding new features every month.
I would say a 10% better everything even though it might be a placebo. All running smooth. Used the camera a lot today for pics and videos. Youtube, browsing and etc, and now 3:33 SOT and battery at 46%. I guess that may be a tad better than before. Camera seems better too somehow.

I think they are moving towards apple kind of ecosystem and software.
And if they can do that , i am not leaving samsung for as long as they maintain that .
They still need to work on animations , accidental touches, and 60-120 hz management in some apps

First full day with May's update. I did a clean install via Odin since it was the second update in a row of over 1GB.
Everything is running smoothly. Battery I think is maybe 5-10% better but have to give it a few days. Can't comment on the camera yet. Usage is on WiFi, 120Hz, FHD+.
Is it officially out for india?? I haven't got it yet!

It's officially out for India, however the OTA rollout seems to be taking some time.

Try Frija, its very fast to download it.
wise advice. I only use one time to install PHE before change CSC, then always wait for OTA
OKay, will wait it out then. Last month I received the update on April 9th; so this time I presume it will be similarly timed.
I'm able to achieve 10hours Sot (48 hours cycle) on this release, prior to that the sot was in the 8/9 hours. I mostly use browser, youtube, youtube music and ocasional gaming (Wild Rift)
On Vodafone model in UK so I expect it will be a couple of weeks before I get this but it sounds like it makes what is already one of the best phones money can buy even better.
Great to see Samsung get the Exynos up to near Snapdragon levels of quality at last.
Unlocked exynos UK here, no sign of the update yet. I've read it improves the shutter response, which would be great!

There's a new update our for the 5G variant, 9.5.7
It adds very little and quite frankly is a bit of a disgrace - this "update" is still the June path level and to make matters worse the feature disparity between the 4G & 5G is widening!

Which do you think is the majority device? Yeah so that's the one they'll dev for first. That's the risk of getting into technology at launch, exactly why I didn't bother with the 5g version, wait until it's properly bedded in and the norm.

Apparently there's an ongoing issue with the patch they were going to release, hence the delay. If it was me, I'd be happier with a working phone than an updated, mebbe insecure, mebbe glitchy phone. They have said the patch will be coming soon, presumably to bring it to parity with the 4G models.
carro_d said:

I told them the phone wasn't fit for purpose as advertised features still didn't work properly, and the continued lack of updates made me question whether they ever would.
OnePlus' silence when it comes to answering queries or support tickets about the 5G is inexcusable - they clearly aren't interested in this phone variant, and I doubt it will ever gain parity with the (lesser) 4G variant.
I'm either going to get a Note 10 or Mate 30 when they're available - I know the Note 10 can do 5G and I almost guarantee that the Mate 30 will too!
How can you go to 60Hz after using 90Hz? I went to a local phone shop to see the Note 10(+), but just because of its 60Hz screen I wouldn't buy it. Period. It just feels sluggish and laggy. All the animations feel as if they are capped because of the 60Hz display.

A bit worried that all regions get an update or even more than one, and I am sitting here waiting...
S21 ultra exynos, Mena region
Am I alone?
I'm with you as well. UK, Three network and no update since AUAC just after I received the phone.
Nothing for me here in Australia yet
Same here on my US Unlocked version. I ended up just downloading the firmware manually and updated in odin without wiping.
Same, still on AUAC version, Jan security patch. There were two updates since I got the phone in the first few days of Feb.
I'm in New Zealand.
Samsung seems to do a very slow staged approach which I guess is so they catch issues before they affect too many people. But it is a bit frustrating when you really want to see the camera improvements...

I didn't even get the updates you mentioned.
Guys, be aware of the fact that it takes Samsung a few weeks (up to month) to push out each update to every supported CSC. I literally just got my update (that released on 2/11/21) about five minutes ago, lol - and that's in North America.
So don't expect to get each update with this device as soon as it launches in one specific region. You just have to wait a little longer with Samsung devices (or, you can do it manually if your update is already publicly available online).
But with all of that said, this update is only around 350mb and is listed to only contain the February 1st security update and another camera performance increase update. So no worries, people! (and someone can make a pinned post with some of this general information if they want to. This is our community development forum, and so I want people to know what's going on out there).
Not so much that, but carrier versions need carrier approval.
T-mobile US I had to search for the update but just installed it.

How? Same carrier and I've got nothing
Sadly there is NO CLEAR thread that explains in SIMPLE terms, for what exact model, what firmware version need to be installed in order to avoid data wipe.
Example XXUC = you can install only XCI, XCP, and XCR version safely without wipe.
Version IUYC = you can install only xxx, xxxx, and xxx version safely without wipe.
Every thread that i have read, looks confusing, does not state what can cause brick, what to keep an eye on, nothing!

Ok, so basically transition are smoother. Camera might be better and less noisy of my experience, i have to test some more. Need more time for battery test. Heating is no issue, i live in Kuwait btw. Performance test on geekbench seems less than before, need more testing. Will test games further today and let you all know. Selfie for me are much better and less noise (would have shared but I'm ugly af). Anything you guys need to know??
WOHOOOO!!!! Finally
Can you test it and report on what improvements you noticed?
I am using Dr. Ketan's ROM and I'm now waiting for his updated version so I can test as well

Updated 4 hours ago,
Now getting camera error, overheating and lags (certainly due to ovrrheating).
From what I read I think you should be able to use the 3x lens in portrait mode now. Can you confirm?

you definitely must wipe cache at least, or reset the phone, since obviously you have some kind of conflicts in software; update is very ok
Maybe, but i don't know how to start in recovery on this phone.
And now overheating is gone but camera is working only when i start in safety mode.

If you can see the new cpu performance setting on device care (with the option: maximum, instead of just: balanced and high), so you officially got the features of OneUI 3.1.1 (like international users).
They're screwing you up, this update is all about installing spyware and ****, that's why they didn't even think about changing the description.
^ wow! that's the most morose take i've ever seen for a fw update
Doesn't seem to have the cpu performance setting, it still just shows adapative and enhanced processing options only....
from what i have read it removes ads from samsung apps

I actually never update Windows after the initial install because it ****s with my finely tuned settings, always ends up costing me latency, but it's mostly the opposite on Android.

I'm curious about those 3 power options affecting the overall performance of the CPU, could someone run Geekbench5 on all 3? I'd give it some time space in between to cool the phone down for each test. Thanks in advance.

The only feature it turns on is female menstrual cycle tracking
Just tonight 4/27/23...got my update -- watch is SM R920. Post update, Software version is R920XXU1AWB1 System version 11, Wear ver 3.5 Wear core services 1.4.69.512673544. Update took about 20 minutes after the download. Seems like SpO2 is better than before, used to have to measure it with a finger now it appears to work on my wrist. I can (so far) find nowhere that body temperature is available or enabled. As a side note I am in Ecuador FWTW as far as regional settings/restrictions go.
Couple notes. Reboot after the last reboot thats part of the software update is a must. Trying to do anything without a manual reboot on mine was very laggy. The reboot helped. Seems on mine that SpO2 and ECG are definitely better but on stress and SpO2 the display seems a little laggy......also when charging the time display, batt % and time to full are different than before, larger and at center screen, something I personally like. Also note that the security patch is 2023-04-01.

So is mine, but mine is AWD6
This is truly weird. When I did the post mine was AWB1. Now it shows AWD6 same as what you see. thanks for this info. I am reading...and was reading...the information from the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone. Truly amazing. Without your kind reply I never would have spotted this.
Regards and thanks again.
An addendum. I have thin wrists, have always had problems with SpO2 since purchase....to the point where I finally gave up trying to read it with the watch on my wrist. Reading SpO2 with the watch on the same finger I use my monitor on....the watch would agree within a point. Before the update when it would read at all it would consistently be sometimes 5 points off. Since the update the watch so far reads reliably on my wrist and is within a point of the monitor. Additionally the watch seems more reliable reading ECG than before less poor reading messages with the necessity to read ECG again. Only thing I wish is the temperature sensor was enabled in the new update. Otherwise most excellent so far from Samsung. Will be interesting to see how battery life compares.

Yes, but do you actually have in settings option to "predict using skin temp"?
Cause I bet like me (also running WDA on Watch 5 Pro) you don't have that option even if you select Cycle Tracking which men don't use.
