Update Details
The One UI 7 beta 6 is being released for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra (the S24 FE is excluded from the beta program). This update, with the firmware version ZYCE, offers multiple new features and bug fixes aimed at improving the overall software experience. Since most changes have already been made, the update size is not very large — it is only about 1.25GB.
New Features
According to SamMobile, the changelog mirrors that of the third One UI 7 beta update for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which was launched yesterday. This means the much-awaited Audio Eraser feature is finally here. This tool can recognize up to six different sound types, allowing you to adjust the volume of specific sounds in videos to improve audio quality. For instance, you can decrease or eliminate background chatter while enhancing your voice for clearer communication.
Enhancements and Integrations
The sixth One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S24 series also features an upgraded version of Sketch to Image, which lets users provide specific instructions to Galaxy AI during image creation. Additionally, this update brings the ability to turn call recordings into text summaries.
Moreover, the update enhances integration with Google Gemini, allowing quick access by holding the side button. It enables users to create stickers, images, and summarize web pages. The Settings app has also been improved with natural language search, making it easier for users to find settings using simple phrases. For example, typing “my eyes are feeling tired” in Settings may suggest options like adjusting brightness or activating the Eye Comfort Shield.
Other Improvements
The beta update also enhances battery animations at the top and addresses issues related to widget overlap, media controller UI elements, and routines.
Samsung is distributing the One UI 7 beta 6 update for the Galaxy S24 series across several countries, including India, Korea, and Germany. If you own a Galaxy S24 running One UI 7 beta, you can obtain the latest update by navigating to Settings > Software update and tapping on Download and install.
This update may be the last beta version for the Galaxy S24 series, as the stable release is expected in just two weeks. Earlier reports indicated that the Galaxy S24 series would receive a total of six beta updates, suggesting that the next update could very well be the stable version.
