Samsung's One UI 7 Beta 4 Brings Galaxy S25 Features to S24 Series

One UI 7 beta 4 brings a LOG-tastic Galaxy S25 feature to S24 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S24 owners' frustrating wait for stable One UI 7 just got longer Summary Samsung Galaxy S24's fourth One UI 7 beta is rolling out. The new ZYBA firmware adds some Galaxy S25 features to the Galaxy S24. This includes support for Samsung Log in the Camera app, albeit only on the S24 Ultra. Samsung Galaxy S24 owners have endured a frustratingly long wait for the stable release of One UI 7. After dropping the first beta in early December and launching the Galaxy S25 with stable Android 15, the company is yet to push the update to its 2024 flagship. Rumors suggest the wait might stretch until April, with a few more beta builds on the way. Amidst the rumors, Samsung continues to polish One UI 7 and has pushed the fourth beta build to Galaxy S24, this time with a nice bonus.

It packs bumps the security patch to February 2025 and contains fixes for several issues, including stuttering when using the fingerprint scanner. More importantly, the update introduces Samsung Log recording support in the Camera app -- a feature that debuted with the Galaxy S25 series. It will allow you to record videos in a special LOG profile that captures much more data, which will help with color grading while editing. However, the feature is limited to the Galaxy S24 Ultra and won't be available on its regular and Plus siblings. The update also adds an AI Filter feature in the Camera app. The inclusion of these Galaxy S25 features in One UI 7 Beta 4 for the S24 should offer some relief to users who are frustrated by the long wait for the stable Android 15 release. However, don't expect the stable One UI 7 to bring all Galaxy S25's AI features to your old Samsung flagship. You can find the release note of One UI 7 Beta 4 for the Galaxy S24 below: - Add Al Filter in Camera - Add Samsung Log in Camera (S24Ultra) - Fix Ul error of lock screen and AOD - Fix quick panel Ul error - Fix grouping alarm error - Fix the problem of stuttering when releasing fingerprint - Fix the problem of disappearing the top bar from the home screen - Modify the animation that was unnatural when opening and closing the app recently - Fix the problem that there is a gap in the status bar after installing Goodlock Quickstar - Many other improvements While not mentioned, the update should also fix a bug with the display's color reproduction in Natural mode. Samsung should expand One UI 7 Beta 4's availability to more regions where the beta program is currently live in the next few hours or days. When will Samsung push One UI 7 to its previous flagship devices? Close Samsung has yet to provide a timeframe on when it will release the stable Android 15 update for its 2024 and older flagship phones and foldables. The delay is negatively affecting the company's image, especially since it was previously known for being among the first to update its phones to the newest Android release.

The next Galaxy S25 from Samsung will feature One UI 7 with AI enhancements, while the Galaxy S24 is preparing for a delayed update Samsung has confirmed that the next Galaxy S25 will hit the market with the new software version One UI 7, which promises to incorporate artificial intelligence features and a redesigned camera interface. This update is not limited to new devices, as the Galaxy S24 will also receive One UI 7, although users will have to prepare for a long wait. According to leaker Tarun Vats, Samsung plans to conduct up to six betas of One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24 before releasing the final version. Currently, the third beta is already available, and the fourth beta is expected to be released next week. However, the following testing phases will not take place until March and April, suggesting that the final version of One UI 7 may not be ready until May. This situation has generated some concern among Galaxy S24 users, who might receive the update just when the release of Android 16 is expected, which could make Android 15, on which One UI 7 is based, feel outdated quickly. The implementation of One UI 7 includes new features powered by artificial intelligence, although not all the features present in the Galaxy S25 will be available in the version for the Galaxy S24. Users can expect notable improvements in the user experience, including a new home screen and an enhanced camera interface. As always, with information coming from leaks, it is advisable to take these announcements with some caution. Although sources like @UniverseIce have corroborated the validity of these timelines, the waiting time for the update may change depending on Samsung's decisions. As the launch approaches, technology enthusiasts will be on the lookout for upcoming news.

Samsung starts bringing Galaxy S25 camera tricks to Galaxy S24 phones

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 This story is part of our Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 coverage Updated less than 3 minutes ago Samsung's previous-gen flagship phones are yet to get a taste of Android 15, but for the adventurous few who signed up for beta testing, they finally have some consolation coming their way. Samsung has started the rollout of One UI 7's fourth beta update for the Galaxy S24 series smartphones. Multiple users on X, Samsung's Community Forum, and YouTube have shared news of the latest beta update arriving on their Galaxy S24 series phones in India and Korea. The update also brings the February Android security patch, but the most notable addition is a key camera trick that Samsung introduced with the Galaxy S25 series earlier this year. Recommended Videos Galaxy S24 Beta 4 (ZYBA) changelog: * Added AI Filter in Camera * Added Samsung Log in Camera (S24 Ultra) * Fixed UI error of lock screen and AOD * Fixed quick panel UI error * Fixed grouping alarm error * Fixed stuttering when releasing fingerprint * Fixed disappearing... pic.twitter.com/AjVtRL2PmR — Tarun Vats (@tarunvats33) February 19, 2025 Please enable Javascript to view this content The feature in question is LOG video capture. Apple introduced this "pro" feature with the iPhone 15 Pro, and this year, Samsung finally caught up. LOG, in the simplest terms, is a flat footage that is ideal for color-grading and post-processing to get the desired effect. LOG videos look grey-ish after capture, but they retain a lot more detail. Most importantly, they are untouched by the algorithmic color correction, especially with dynamic range data. Essentially, what you get is pristine sensor data in your video, ready for grading and chroma correction. These videos need specialized software for editing, such as Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, and a lot of skills, too. To enable this feature on your compatible Galaxy smartphone, you will have to enable the Log toggle from within the Advanced video options in the camera settings. One UI 7 0 Beta 4 Update Released in india?Samsung S24 Series?S23 Series One UI 7 0 Official update Thankfully, Samsung's Gallery app gives users an option called Correct Color that automatically fixes the color situation in LOG videos without having to launch a pro-grade video editing app on a computer. In addition to LOG video capture support, which is exclusive to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the entire Galaxy S24 series is also getting support for the new AI filters. These filters take an approach similar to photographic styles on the current-generation iPhones, but add more granular controls for adjusting values such as temperature, contrast, and saturation. The most notable element is that apart from the new crop of filters, users can create their own unique filters by simply picking up any picture from the phone's gallery. The onboard AI will copy its signature looks and color profile, and will create a new camera filter based on it.

Samsung Galaxy S25's best new AI feature could come to S24 series

Leaker claims Audio Eraser is set to come to Samsung Galaxy S24 in the One UI 7 update. Samsung Galaxy S24 owners frustrated by the repeated delays to the One UI 7 release potentially have some good news. According to the leaker Tarun Vats, the Samsung Galaxy S25's best new AI feature is likely to be added to last year's handset as part of the stable One UI 7 release when it finally emerges. "The Galaxy S25's 'Audio Eraser' feature is most likely coming to the Galaxy S24 series with the One UI 7 update!", Vats wrote on X. For those unfamiliar, Audio Eraser leverages artificial intelligence to detect and remove unwanted noise -- wind, passing cars, city hubbub, etc. -- leaving just the sounds that you intended to capture. It's very handy for those who regularly use their phone to take video in challenging conditions. In fact, it doesn't even need to be video taken on the phone itself -- as our Senior Channel Editor for Phones John Velasco found in his extensive testing of Audio Eraser, it will work on any video. As you can see from the included clips, it's an impressive feature. The good news about S25 hand-me-downs doesn't stop there. The next day, Vats returned to suggest that two more AI features would be passed down to older models. While LOG Video is only "confirmed" for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Best Face will apparently roll out to all Galaxy S24, S23 and S22 models with the One UI 7 update. LOG video recording gives video editors more control over color grading on captured footage. Though undeniably a niche feature, it can get very good results in the right hands, as John found when testing the S25 Ultra's LOG Video implementation earlier this month. Best Face is far more mainstream and extremely useful. As long as you have motion photos enabled, it lets you go into any photo and pick from a number of possible faces caught in the moments leading up to the photo being taken, ensuring that nobody is pulling a strange expression or caught with their eyes closed. These are all exciting extra features, but the bad news is that Samsung doesn't seem in any rush to get the update to older handsets. In another post on X, Vats says that Six One UI 7 beta updates are expected for the S24, with the last one arriving in April. That means we could be looking at May for the final stable release -- by which point the Android 15 operating system on which it's based will be nine months old.

Samsung rolling out One UI 7 Beta 4 for Galaxy S24

While most users are just waiting for the full version of One UI 7 to be released, Samsung has a couple of things to iron out. The One UI 7 Beta 4 update is now rolling out to Galaxy S24 devices in certain regions. Hopefully, this is the last pre-release version. One UI 7 brings a lot to the table, but the only full release we're able to get our hands on is on the Galaxy S25. On that phone, new AI features and quality-of-life tweaks are rampant throughout the phone. One UI 7 has been widely considered a great update to the Galaxy series. Though it isn't available for any other device just yet, the Galaxy S24 now has access to the One UI 7 Beta 4 update in South Korea (via SamMobile). The beta program is live in plenty of other regions, so the update should start making its way to Europe and the US shortly. The update comes in a 1.4GB package, which isn't all that big. Samsung details some of the more exciting additions in the changelog. It notes a new AI Filter in the camera and Samsung's compatibility push with LOG video format. LOG was announced for the Galaxy S25. It was expected that it would come to previous Galaxy devices, so this is reassuring to see. One UI 7 Beta 4 also brings a lot of fixes. Those include quick panel UI errors, alarm errors, and a stuttering fingerprint reader. As it's still a beta, there will likely be more things to fix when the next update comes around. We're just hoping that the next update for the Galaxy S24 is One UI 7 in full. Samsung still hasn't made it clear when One UI 7 will be fully released. It was initially expected rather soon after the Galaxy S25's debut, but that has come and gone. This update comes as it was previously discovered that Samsung did have at least one more beta in the tank, but it's unclear if there are more to come.

One UI 7 might not bring Galaxy S25's best AI features to older devices

The Galaxy A56 looks a lot like the S25 in leaked renders, but with one small distinction Summary Some AI features on the Galaxy S25 series may remain exclusive due to hardware requirements. Samsung's AI features split into on-device and cloud-based categories, impacting which devices they will roll out on. Lower-end Galaxy phones and mid-tier models might not receive all the AI features with the One UI 7 update. While Samsung didn't make huge hardware changes with the Galaxy S25 series, it did pack in several new AI features like Cross App Actions, Now Brief, Now Bar, and more. Since these features were showcased alongside One UI 7, many of us assumed they'd arrive on older Galaxy devices with the One UI 7 update. But that might not be the case, as a Samsung executive has hinted that some AI features may remain exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series. Read our review Review: Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra no longer lives up to its name A straight-B student Posts 10 In a recent interview (via Sammobile) published by Samsung Indonesia, Sally Jeong, EVP and Head of Framework R&D at Samsung MX, talked about One UI 7's development and security concerns with AI. During the interview, Sally was also asked about the role of NPUs and GPUs in powering these new AI features on the Galaxy S25. Samsung says advanced AI features need powerful hardware And that's why not all Galaxy devices will get them Close In response, Sally explained that Samsung's AI features are split into two categories: those that rely on on-device hardware and those that are cloud-based. She specifically mentioned that One UI 7's "Personal Data Engine", which powers features like Now Brief, requires advanced chipsets and robust on-device processing. This kind of processing requires high-end hardware, like the Snapdragon 8 Elite found in the Galaxy S25. On the other hand, features that are primarily cloud-based, like Circle to Search, are easier to roll out across a wider range of Galaxy devices. But for more "deeper AI experiences," stronger hardware is essential, which means some mid-range or older flagships might miss out, even after upgrading to One UI 7. Related 6 powerful new One UI 7 features every Samsung user needs to try The most significant visual change in years Posts 3 Sally didn't specify which devices or features would be left behind, but it's safe to assume that lower-end Galaxy phones and mid-tier models might miss out on some of the AI features Samsung debuted with the Galaxy S25 series. Samsung has only tested One UI 7 on the Galaxy S24 series so far -- and that Now Brief hasn't appeared yet -- so it'll be interesting to see if older foldables or previous-gen flagships get this feature at all. Samsung Galaxy S25 Samsung's Galaxy S25 keeps things small without sacrificing power. With a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 12GB of RAM, and all sorts of tools courtesy of Galaxy AI, this is everything you expect from a modern flagship squeezed into a relatively svelte chassis. $800 at Samsung $800 at Best Buy $800 at Amazon Samsung Galaxy S25+ The Samsung Galaxy S25+ is the middle offering in the company's lineup.

One UI 7's slickest AI features might skip Galaxy S24 and older flagships, Samsung hints

During the two-hour-plus Galaxy Unpacked event last month, Samsung made its vision for the (near) future clear: AI gets priority over hardware upgrades. The representatives on stage tirelessly promoted new features, including one that, they insisted, surpasses any other advancement we have seen in the field. Samsung's Now Brief is one of the chief highlights in the new One UI 7 interface and is touted to serve as a personal assistant to those who own a Galaxy S25 series phone. However, those of us with older Samsung flagships may be out of luck. The reason behind newly added AI features, such as Now Brief, potentially not working on older devices is because it is part of a suite of features called "Personal data engine." This "engine" is responsible for processing any sensitive data securely on the device itself and stored within an encrypted vault. In the absence of such safeguards, data can be used to trace back to your identity in an event of a leak. Sally, Hyesoon Jeong, executive VP and head of the Framework R&D department at Samsung's mobile division, recently spoke about how personalized AI experiences are at the core of Samsung's approach for the Galaxy S25 and future devices. Since these features process sensitive personal information, they must be processed on the device without being uploaded to the cloud. Recommended Videos While local processing ensures your data is safe in the event of cyberattacks or not fed back to the algorithm for training and fine-tuning, it increases the compute requirements. Therefore, executive stressed that features that rely on on-device processing, including Now Brief, need powerful chipsets, such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The new Galaxy S25 series gets the chipset's overclocked version, with Samsung and Qualcomm partnering to especially enhance the neural processing capabilities. The intent is to boost features that integrate insights from multiple apps into one and process information as intuitively as possible. Another Samsung executive previously told Digital Trends that Now Brief is designed to offer a "consolidated view" of our lives, fetching data from various system and third-party apps and preparing us (and itself for us) for activities ahead of us. Please enable Javascript to view this content Samsung pulls an Apple Unfortunately, Sally hinted the Galaxy S24 or older flagship devices might not satisfy those hardware requirements, and that means Now Brief and other intuitive features that Samsung adds in the future may force you to upgrade to newer models -- in a fashion similar to what Apple did with Apple Intelligence. This also makes Samsung's promise of seven Android updates less enticing, but the executive confirms that other AI features that can rely on cloud-side compute, such as Circle to Search, will continue to work and be upgraded for older devices. If it's any consolation, Samsung's Now Brief initially appears underwhelming and does not match up to the revolutionary claims the company makes. So, your Galaxy S24 or an older S series device should be good -- at least for now. If that changes over the coming weeks or months, we will be sure to share an update.
