The update brought along a new emoji design, camera app upgrade and more customisation.

Now a leak has revealed the updated battery protection features Samsung intends to launch with One UI 6.1.

Pop-up windows will stay open when you navigate over to the Recents screen, so users can pick up where they left off.

Samsung owners can also enjoy a new weather widget with enhanced illustrations alongside more information about snowfall, atmospheric pressure and moon phases.
