The latest update for the Galaxy Watch 5 has revealed that One UI 5.1 will be required to enable the new "Camera Controller" feature on the watch. This feature allows users to control zoom on their paired smartwatch by pinching the screen on their watch.

Samsung previously announced that this feature would be available from February 2023. This information suggests that One UI 5.1 will be rolled out starting in February 2023.
