The changelog of the Galaxy S22’s fourth One UI 5.0 Beta suggests that the frame drop issue when jumping from widgets to the homescreen is getting fixed. However, we expect other aspects of the software system will get enhancements, especially for the animations.

Once again, Galaxy smartphone users are required to wait for an unspecified time for the multi-user feature. It’s worth mentioning that Samsung tablets already offer the multi-user feature, which was initially debuted on Pixel phones nearly a decade ago.

Important changes

Talking about bug fixes, the Galaxy S22’s One UI 5.0 Beta 4 improves the Gallery app so you can add or remove favorites and recent items in the Album. Moreover, it solves the issue of the automatic launch of random functions in some cases along with the virtual vibration/beep issue that occurs continuously.

Users reported having crashing issues while accessing the app folder and wallpapers interface, which is now being fixed with the fourth One UI 5.0 Beta update. The 3rd Beta brought a whole new Wallpapers section, but it was not accessible due to continuous crashing problems.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra users were facing issues in using the S Pen Air Command feature occasionally, which are now being improved to offer the best possible user experiences. Object Eraser, Shadow Eraser and Reflection Eraser apps stopped working with the 3rd Beta installation, which will now be becoming accessible again.

Note: The update is initially rolling out in South Korea, and Samsung will soon expand it to more markets.

Samsung Galaxy S25 matches iPhone 16, trails Pixel 9 in key feature

Google Messages sensitive content warnings

Samsung Galaxy S25 may disappoint you in terms of RAM configuration. The company is allegedly considering an awful downgrade for the next vanilla flagship. A wild rumor indicates 8GB RAM on the base variant, which will be terrible in 2025.

According to Jukanlosreve, Samsung may introduce the Galaxy S25 with 8GB RAM. The Plus and Ultra models could get 12GB RAM, while the Ultra gets 16GB in 1TB of storage. The decision is seemingly under consideration due to the low DRAM yield.

If Galaxy S25 comes with 8GB RAM, it would match the iPhone 16 but lag behind the Pixel 9. Notably, Apple Intelligence requires 8GB of RAM, settling a long-due RAM upgrade on base iPhone models this year.

Google also boosted RAM configuration, given the increased load of AI processing. While the rumor hints at 8GB RAM in the standard Galaxy S25, things may change as the leaker himself is unsure of the RAM-related input.

Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 feature 8GB RAM. Samsung brought up to 12GB RAM on select mid-range models. 12GB RAM as standard is a long-standing demand of Samsung’s smartphone users.

The next-gen flagships will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite and Gemini Nano AI models. The chipset can be optimized to perform well on 8GB RAM. However, Gemini Nano may not be able to deliver maximum performance without enough RAM.

Virtual RAM is just a gimmick. It has nothing to do with the phone’s performance or functional smoothness. The feature description itself reveals that apps will make use of virtual RAM to perform better for a reliable multitasking experience.

Samsung may change its plans regarding the RAM on the flagship model. Larger RAM is a requirement nowadays and the company must stay ahead of its key rivals, which are either matching or having an edge in key areas.
