Samsung to resolve One UI 6.1 alignment issue with July 2024 update
Users of One UI 6.1-based Samsung devices are regularly reporting an issue in which the date and time display format is not aligned correctly. This issue is particularly noticed with Korean or Chinese characters. The Korean tech giant has confirmed to fix this issue in the next update.
Some reports via Galaxy users have highlighted the strange date and time alignment issue, which was partially resolved by switching from the default font to the Samsung One font or any other font. However, this has not fully resolved the issue for everyone as several Galaxy device models including the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are affected by this issue.
Samsung has acknowledged the issue and confirmed that a fix is underway. A community moderator has stated that the fix for the alignment issue will be released with the next One UI 6.1 update.

Samsung could adopt MediaTek chips in its next-generation Galaxy S phones. The company is rumored to utilize the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC in the Galaxy S25 series, which will feature 3nm flagship Cortex-X925 CPU and Immortalis G925 GPU.
Galaxy S25 series’ rumored MediaTek Dimensity 9400 will have Arm’s all-new 3nm flagship Cortex-X925 CPU and Immortalis G925 GPU. While Samsung’s decision to adopt the MediaTek chip is uncertain, the Dimensity chip is confirmed to have upgraded CPU and GPU.
Back in May, Arm introduced a flagship Cortex-X925 core, a Cortex-A725 performance core, and a refreshed Cortex-A520 efficiency core. As announced during the unveiling, the company revealed the target frequency of the X925 is 3.6GHz and higher.
Based on 5th Gen Arm GPU architecture, Immortalis-G925 is Arm’s latest flagship GPU. It is designed to offer the best gaming and AI experience on future phones. The GPU promises improved performance with reduced power along with ray tracing improvements.
MediaTek is said to launch the Dimensity 9400 platform in the second half. Only time will tell whether Samsung is bringing the Dimensity chip to its Galaxy S flagships. We may have some authentic information regarding the rumors when Dimensity 9400 goes official.
