Second One UI 8 Beta (ZYHB) For Galaxy S24, Fold/Flip 6 Adds Now Brief & Call Captions
Samsung continues its aggressive push toward the stable release of One UI 8, rolling out the second beta update for Galaxy S24 series and flagship foldable devices. This latest beta iteration, version ZYHB, brings significant improvements to the user experience while addressing multiple critical bugs that have been affecting early adopters.
The expansion of the One UI 8 beta program beyond the Galaxy S25 series marks a pivotal moment in Samsung’s software development cycle, demonstrating the company’s commitment to delivering a polished experience across its premium device lineup before the official release.
The second beta introduces several noteworthy features that enhance the overall user experience:
Now Brief Integration: Samsung has integrated enhanced brief notifications that provide more contextual information at a glance. This feature leverages AI-powered summarization to deliver concise, relevant updates without overwhelming the user interface.
Dynamic Wallpaper Options: Users now have access to an expanded library of dynamic wallpapers that respond to system events, time of day, and user interactions. These wallpapers utilize advanced rendering techniques to provide smooth animations while maintaining battery efficiency.
Call Captions Enhancement: The updated call captions feature offers improved real-time transcription accuracy and supports additional languages. This accessibility feature has been refined based on user feedback from previous beta versions.
Comprehensive Bug Fixes and System Improvements
Samsung has addressed numerous issues that were affecting the beta experience:
Display and Interface Fixes
Lock Screen Optimization: The development team has resolved the fingerprint sensor overlap issue that occurred during wireless charging. This fix ensures that the fingerprint authentication area remains accessible and responsive even when the charging animation is active.
Notification Display Enhancement: Previously, some users experienced issues where only notification icons appeared on the lock screen without accompanying text or preview content. This has been completely resolved in the ZYHB build.
App-Specific Improvements
Naver Sports Integration: Samsung has fixed logo cutting issues in the Naver Sports “Top Now” bar, ensuring proper display formatting for Korean users who rely on this popular sports information service.
Keyboard Functionality: The update addresses a persistent issue where keyboard phrase recommendation settings would reset to default after device reboots, improving typing efficiency and user experience consistency.
System Stability Enhancements
Font Rendering: Multiple font-related bugs have been addressed, including issues where custom fonts would revert to system defaults unexpectedly, and problems with font rendering in specific applications.
App Switching Performance: Samsung has resolved instances where the screen would freeze and display the lock screen during active app usage, significantly improving multitasking reliability.
Widget Accuracy: Clock widget time display errors have been corrected, ensuring accurate time representation across all home screen widgets and system interfaces.
