Samsung is working hard to provide the One UI 4 beta update for its high-end devices. As the company has already released Android 12 based One UI 4 beta 2 for the Galaxy S21 series. In addition to this, a recent report claims that the next One UI 4 Beta might be released in the coming week, maybe tomorrow. However, in this article, we are talking about the Emergency mode of One UI 4.0.
What is an Emergency mode?
Samsung’s Emergency mode enables you to extend your device’s standby time when you are in an emergency situation and you want your device to conserve power for as long as possible.
When this mode is activated, the screen’s brightness will decrease and some of the device’s functionality will be limited in order to conserve your battery’s charge. The home screen will be changed to a black theme to reduce battery consumption.
You will be able to use the Phone app to make a call to a specified contact and also to make emergency calls. You can also turn on the flash, sound alarms and send your location information to others in a message.

Sleep apnea is a condition where a person’s breathing becomes shallow or stops while they sleep. It’s a serious issue that can affect overall health. With the new feature, Samsung aims to help users easily detect if they might have sleep apnea.
To use this feature, you’ll need the Samsung Health Monitor app on your Samsung phone. Here’s how you can enable it:
- Open the Samsung Health Monitor app on your connected phone and go to the Sleep Apnea tab.
- If you don’t see the app on your phone, start it from your watch first.
- Enable the Sleep Apnea feature by turning on the switch and following the prompts.
Make sure to wear your Galaxy Watch while you sleep. In the morning, open the Samsung Health Monitor app again to view your results in the Sleep Apnea tab. You can also tap “View history” to see your recorded sleep data.
This new feature gives users important insights into their sleep health. By offering an easy way to detect signs of sleep apnea, it can help users take steps toward better health.

Quality sleep is important for your health, but several people struggle to get enough. Lack of sleep can lead to serious health problems like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. To help improve sleep, Samsung has created the Galaxy Ring. It is a smart ring with AI technology that tracks your sleep and offers personalized tips to help you rest better.
Here you can check three advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Ring to improve your sleep.
Comfortable to Wear All Night
Samsung Galaxy Ring is lightweight and comfortable so you can wear it all night without issues. It comes in 9 different sizes, and a free sizing kit is included to help you find the best fit.
The ring can be worn on any finger, but the index finger is recommended for the best results. With a battery life of up to 7 days, you don’t have to worry about charging it every night.
Track Sleep Quality
Galaxy Ring features an Advanced Sleep Tracking feature, which helps to track different stages of sleep, including light, deep, and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. Each stage plays a different role in your body’s recovery. Deep sleep helps your body heal, while REM sleep is important for mental recovery.
By tracking how much time you spend in each stage, the Galaxy Ring helps you understand if you’re getting the quality sleep you need. It also checks your heart rate and heart rate variability, which can help spot sleep problems.
Healthier Tips
After tracking your sleep for a week, the Galaxy Ring provides personalized advice to help you improve your sleep habits. It might suggest things like adjusting your bedtime or avoiding caffeine before sleep. These tips make it easier to build a healthier sleep routine.
