SAMSUNG owners are about to receive a big phone update that will bring along a new emoji design, camera app upgrade and more customisation.
The sparkly new operating system will be issued out to Samsung Galaxy devices over the coming weeks under the title One UI 6.0.
It's being rolled out to different phones in stages.
The update has already hit Samsung's newest Galaxy phones first, including the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra.
But this week, the owners of two more Samsung handsets will be able to install the update.
This includes owners of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5.
