Samsung One UI Home 6.1.1 update

Samsung is rumored to bring 16GB RAM to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s going to be a big upgrade over the recently released flagship phones by Samsung. Meanwhile, it shows the company is taking a U-turn on its decision to reduce the RAM, starting with the S22 Ultra.

Chinese vendors continue to increase RAM on their flagships. Samsung has either reduced or stuck with the same configuration. Well, a major shift seems to be loading, with Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra being equipped with 16GB RAM, keeping the base storage unchanged.

X user Sawyer Galox claims that the Galaxy S25 Ultra could have increased RAM than the S24 Ultra. The input is based on what specifications are being tested on the prototype model. Notably, Samsung’s S20 Ultra and S21 Ultra debuted 16GB RAM variants.

Starting with the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the South Korean tech giant has reduced the RAM to 12GB. This continued with the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra. As Gemini Nano v2 is also rumored to be available in the next flagships, more RAM may be required.

Apart from this, a new design language is expected to be introduced with the Galaxy S25 series. After following its signature design from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the company’s next Ultra flagship would finally bring a much-anticipated design refresh.

As far as other specifications are concerned, an upgraded display with 3000 nits of peak brightness and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy will likely come. The camera department may also be enhanced with the arrival of enhanced image sensors.

YouTube Shorts 3 minute

YouTube currently has a feature called Shorts, where users can create videos that are 60 seconds long. Starting October 15, YouTube will let users create Shorts of up to 3 minutes long. This change is a boon for creators as it gives them more time to share their ideas with more content.

Many creators have been asking for this change, and now YouTube is finally making it happen. Google mentioned that it is the top-requested feature by creators. With the 3-minute time limit, creators can include more details in Shorts.

It is worth mentioning that the new length will apply to videos that are square or taller in the aspect ratio to keep the Shorts format easy to view and engaging. Any Shorts uploaded before October 15 will remain the same and won’t be affected by this update.

Aside from this, YouTube is also changing the look of the Shorts player to make it cleaner and easier to use. The buttons will have a simple outline instead of color-filled ones and there will be a single line for descriptions.

Viewers will soon be able to see what others are saying about a video as comments will soon be visible directly in the Shorts player. YouTube will soon provide ” Show fewer Shorts ” options on the Home feed.

There’s more for creators as soon they can easily remix clips from various YouTube videos right in the Shorts camera. They’ll also be able to use templates to match trends and add their personal touch. Overall, Google hopes to make YouTube Shorts more user-friendly, easy to use, and engaging.

One UI 7 dev Beta arriving in late 2024, fans left waiting!

Samsung One UI 7 Beta

Samsung confirmed One UI 7 Beta coming by the end of this year for developers. We were guessing a short and limited Beta availability this year. In a shocking development, the company announced One UI 7 rollout will start next year.

We observed a major reshuffle in Samsung’s software strategy this year. The company fueled many features in the One UI 6.1 update. The One UI 6.1.1 is also a big update, which expanded in much time as compared to previous versions.

One UI 7 Beta was not announced in August, its usual release month. September was also left waiting and seemingly October will also change nothing. Samsung says, One UI 7 Beta will release for developers by the end of this year.

Previous Beta activities still had wider availability among users. However, we don’t expect the same to repeat this year with One UI 7. With “developers” the company might have meant to a limited audience for a limited period.

The Beta release is scheduled for later this year, quite close to January’s Stable debut. So, flagship Galaxy users have to be satisfied with One UI 6.1.1 features. The next big thing would arrive when you would have guessed the 7.1 release.

At SDC24, the company also teased core design elements of the One UI 7. The firmware will bring a new user experience focused on simple, impactful, and emotive design. The home screen layout will also add intuitive grid functionality for better UX.

Does iOS 18 set a new standard that One UI 7 can’t meet?

One UI 7 Beta

Apple and Samsung’s mobile software bring their own set of features and innovations, but the question remains: does iOS 18 set a new standard that One UI 7 can’t meet? Let’s explore the strengths of both OSs and see how they compare.

iOS 18 is available on compatible Apple iPhone models internationally. Samsung is paying the price of reliance on the Android operating system. The delay in Android 15 seemingly caused One UI 7 Beta to be delayed and delayed.

Apple’s software is well known for its fluid animations and reliable functioning. Samsung is trying hard to challenge iOS reign but lags behind. Galaxy phones are literally unable to make sensible use of cutting-edge hardware specifications.

iOS 18 comes with many design enhancements, including updated widgets and improved notification management. These changes make a major impact on everyday usage, providing a more seamless and visually appealing user experience.

Apple Intelligence’s inclusion will help iOS lead further. The company has collaborated with OpenAI for AI capabilities on the iPhone. The software is deeply integrated with AI to deliver a seamless and reliable user experience.

It doesn’t mean iOS 18 is unbeatable.

iOS 18 is difficult to defeat but not impossible for Samsung’s One UI 7. The Galaxy AI suite is far ahead in terms of usability against Apple Intelligence. Galaxy phones have countless AI tricks that Apple would be able to adopt in years.

Samsung has to work on system stability and performance. The software always shines with its customization capabilities. The Galaxy’s hardware should be optimized for Android, so the processor, display, and camera would offer the most.

Whether you pick iOS or One UI, depends on your priorities. If you love the customization and openness of Android, One UI will be your first choice. Meanwhile, if you aren’t a power user and prefer reliable + stable UX, iOS would attract you.

One UI and iOS have their strengths. Samsung is expected to introduce the One UI 7 at the SDC24 event today. We are guessing the Stable rollout could be promised without the commencement of Beta testing activity as it’s already delayed.
