On April 15, Samsung revealed Galaxy S24 flagships use recycled plastics as it moves to “innovate high-performance components that are made with recycled materials.” The company has set a goal to recover nearly 100 tons of recycled plastics with the S24 series this year.
In the production of the Galaxy S24 series, the Korean tech giant has used a new plastic material by recycling thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) leftover from shoe manufacturing processes.

Samsung also aims to help recover about 110 tons of recycled aluminum, which is equivalent to about 9 million soda cans, into the Galaxy S24 series this year. It’s also worth noting that the S24 series is the first Samsung product that has recycled minerals such as recycled cobalt in key components.
“With the Galaxy S24 series, our goal by the end of 2024 is to help recover nearly 100 metric tons of recycled plastics, which is equivalent to 10 million empty plastic bottles,” Samsung said, celebrating Earth Day on April 22.

Samsung has released a new update for the Sound Assistant Good Lock module with version 6.1.00.9. This update introduces an important change for Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
The fresh update of the Sound Assitant has removed the Reverse Stereo function for the Galaxy Fold 6 and Galaxy Flip 6. Samsung decided to remove this feature because recent changes to the system’s sound processing made it difficult to keep the function working properly.
The Reverse Stereo function allows users to switch the left and right audio channels. But now, this feature is no longer available for the latest foldable smartphones. The company has officially mentioned that they cannot guarantee stable functionality for the Reverse Stereo feature due to the recent changes in sound processing.
This update may be disappointing for users who use the reverse stereo feature in the sound assistant. However, Samsung aims to improve the stability of the device so that more audio functions work well.
Galaxy Fold 6 and Galaxy Flip 6 users will need to adjust to this change, but they can still enjoy other audio customization options in the sound assistant module. These latest smartphones already have several new and smart features.
Users can download the Samsung Sound Assitant 6.1.00.9 update from the Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. Also, they can download the update from the third-party app source link mentioned here.
Samsung recently added One UI 6.1.1 support to the Sound Assistant Good Lock module. In addition, it added Galaxy Buds 3 icons to align the interface with Samsung’s latest wearable technology to ensure that users can enjoy a seamless experience when managing sound settings through Sound Assistant.

Furthermore, the update introduces Global Always-On Display (AOD) support to provide important information even when the screen is off.
The fourth beta update also contains a minor issue with the ‘Show last app’ setting. The default value has changed, which might affect users who previously set it to the ‘Not used’ or ‘Within 5 seconds’ option. If you notice that your setting isn’t being applied correctly, simply go to the Settings menu and select your preferred option to fix the problem.
Users of Galaxy Watch 6 series can verify the latest beta update through version ending with ZXG6, while Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 users are getting it with version ZXG7.
