Samsung One UI 7 DECO PIC

Samsung could release One UI 7 Beta 4 update for the Galaxy S24 series. A reliable tipster has recently shared a shocking input, leading us to stop dreaming about the Stable One UI 7 update following the global S25 release.

According to IceUniverse, Samsung plans to push One UI 7 Beta 4 for the Galaxy S24 series. The info coming out from a conversation held right before the S25 series’s launch. The Beta team has included an important fix in the fourth Beta.

One UI 7 Beta 4

One UI 7 Beta 4 could fix the yellowish screen problem on the Galaxy S24 series. The team acknowledged that the One UI 7 changes caused an issue where the display appears more Yellow when Color Optimization is enabled in Natural Mode.

It’s considered a side effect of the changes made in the One UI 7 software. The software staff has reportedly addressed the issue (by optimizing the display color temperature settings) and deployment will take place with Beta 4.

If you are facing the yellowish screen issue, it is recommended to either disable Color Optimization or use Visual Mode (in place of Normal).

Samsung MLCC LiDAR

Samsung continues to expand its business beyond the mobile landscape. In a recent development, Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced the world’s highest voltage and ultra-small MLCC in a 1005 size for Autonomous driving.

The new Samsung MLCC for LiDAR applications in next-generation Autonomous vehicles has a capacity of 2.2uF. It can be operated at a high voltage of 10V, with dimensions of 1005 size (1.0 mm wide and 0.5 mm long).

Samsung’s new solution features 60% higher voltage than the previous standard of 6.3V. Such high voltage configuration is a critical reliability standard for automotive products. It’s all set to provide reliable performance in LiDAR systems.

The company highlighted that MLCCs can’t meet both voltage and capacitance requirements together. However, the new MLCC by Samsung is the most suitable solution for both a stable power supply and accurate signal transmission.

The Korean tech giant revealed that it has developed proprietary additives and a new manufacturing method, which practically minimizes empty spaces within the dielectric, allowing stable operation even at high voltages.

Executive Vice President Choi Jeremy, Head of Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ Component Solution Unit, stated, “The demand for high-performance and high-reliability MLCCs is increasing due to the electrification of vehicles,” adding, “We will strengthen our competitive edge in differentiated technology by securing key technologies in materials, equipment, and manufacturing processes for MLCCs, and actively respond to growth markets focusing on high-value products.”
