The Quick Share feature also received an important update, as it is now able to recognize faces and suggest sharing photos with the people in them. The updates also include improvements to sharing across devices thanks to the Audio Broadcast and Storage Share updates.

The Audio Broadcast feature allows audio broadcast from the phone to nearby devices that support Bluetooth LE Audio via Auracast technology, and the phone’s microphone can also be used to broadcast audio directly, which Samsung markets as an ideal solution for guided tours and events.

As for Storage Share, it allows the user to review files stored on other Galaxy devices, such as tablets, computers, and televisions directly through the My Files application, which makes sharing files across Samsung devices smoothly.

In terms of protection, Samsung adds the Theft Protection and Failed Authentication Lock features to enhance the phone’s security against theft and failed login attempts.

The beta version of One UI 8.5 will be available to users Galaxy S25 series In Germany, India, Korea, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States starting today. Users can register for the program via the Samsung Members app as usual. See also: Honor Magic8 Lite phone officially launched.
