Samsung recently updated the Samsung Internet Beta which includes new features, an enhancement to existing features, and UI refinements. According to the official announcement, Samsung will release the stable Samsung Internet 13.0 later this year. You can check the latest addition in detail below:

ONE UI 3.0 ENHANCEMENTS
Samsung added One UI 3.0 enhancement on the Samsung Internet 13.0 beta. One of these changes is the immersive scroll. This will make non-scrollable elements like the status and navigation UI hide when you are scrolling, allowing you to focus on the content you are manipulating.

The One UI 3 also brings an expandable app bar into bookmarks, saved pages, history, downloads, ad blocker, add-ins, and settings. This expandable info provides useful information on the tap of a button.

Additionally, the company is bringing the “more menu” button down to the lower bar for better reach to sections like tab manager and downloads.

PERMISSION REQUEST UI

Samsung is changing the permission request UI to display a warning message if the website looks malicious. This feature will stop notifications from those sites that like to mislead their users into accepting notifications.

DOUBLE-TAP TO PLAY/PAUSE YOUR VIDEOS

With Samsung Internet 13.0 beta, users can play or pause content while in video assistant fullscreen by double-tapping the center area of the screen.

EASY EDITING OF YOUR BOOKMARKS

Just press the bookmark icon and you will get a toast notification to edit your bookmark on the Internet 13.0 beta.

ADD-ON EXTENSION API EXPANSION

Samsung has expanded the browser extension APIs available on Samsung Internet. These are the new API modules available: WebRequest, Proxy, Cookies, Types, History, Alarms, Privacy, Notifications, Permissions, Idle, and Management.

BETTER USER PRIVACY IN SECRET MODE

Samsung saw its sales, operating profit, and net profit dip 21.5%, 95.4% and 86.9% on-year, respectively. Comparable figures of its US counterpart, Apple, dropped 4.2%, 10% and 9.2%.

The FKI stressed the need for South Korean big businesses to establish stable profit sources as they remain more vulnerable to external shocks than big U.S. companies.

The combined operating profit of the Korean companies tumbled 63.4 percent on-year to $24.8 billion won in the six-month period, while that of the U.S. corporations shrank 3.9 percent to $638.5 billion.
