One UI 8 beta 2 has arrived, and the early buzz is that it is a monster 1.2GB download. Besides bug fixes, the update seems to be focusing on fine-tuning the user experience. According to leaked screenshots, there is a new user feedback feature to improve interpreter performance. The update also knocks out some annoying bugs: you’ll no longer see obnoxious “Now brief” text, wacky lock screen widgets, and fingerprint recognition failures. Any S Pen user would have to smile again because with this update, the disappearing Air Command icon when you detach the stylus is fixed.

With One UI 8 Beta 2 rolling out, it is time to look toward the positives. To the folks tired of guessing their battery percentage, there’s a fix with a new widget icon. Finally, one is able to resolve the really hard-to-bear low volume issues during Bluetooth car calls. For gamers, the annoying notification sound interrupting gameplay is now a thing in the past. The sinister bug has also been slain, so it won’t stop any alarms in the future. And yes, that glitch-related black mark against Galaxy AI weather and time wallpapers has also been wiped clean. This update, however, is more than fixes; it has polish. It adds further software stability as well as some welcome improvements to apps like the Camera for a smooth and reliable Galaxy experience.
