Samsung shares details on Galaxy Watch One UI 8 beta access

Samsung has announced which Galaxy Watch models can join the One UI 8 Watch beta program, but not all devices made the list. The beta, launching soon in the US and South Korea, lets users test new features early via the Samsung Members app.
Only Galaxy Watch 5 and newer models, like the Galaxy Watch 5, 5 Pro, 6, 6 Classic, 7, and Ultra, are eligible. Sadly, the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic are left out, raising doubts about their future updates since their four-year software support ends in August 2025.
The One UI 8 Watch beta brings exciting health tools, including Bedtime Guidance to improve sleep, Vascular Load to track heart stress, Running Coach for personalized training, and Antioxidant Index to measure healthy aging.
However, some features are exclusive to newer models like the Galaxy Watch 7 and Ultra. To join, users need a compatible watch, a Galaxy phone with the Samsung Members app, and must be in the US or South Korea.
Samsung plans to release the stable One UI 8 Watch with the Galaxy Watch 8 series in July 2025, with older models getting it later. If you’re eager to try the beta, keep an eye on the Samsung Members app for enrollment details.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s zoom camera details revealed

A recent report shares exciting details about the camera setup for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, expected to launch in early 2026. The phone is likely to keep the same telephoto camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, featuring a 50MP sensor for one of its zoom lenses.
This news follows earlier rumors suggesting Samsung might use a 200MP telephoto sensor, but it seems at least one of the two telephoto cameras will stick with the 50MP setup. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is also expected to carry over the 50MP ultrawide camera introduced in the S25 Ultra last year.
Additionally, the main rear camera will likely remain a 200MP sensor, similar to its predecessors. While these choices might disappoint fans hoping for major upgrades, Samsung appears to be focusing on refining existing technology rather than overhauling it.
Details about the second telephoto sensor are still unclear, leaving room for speculation about potential improvements. The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera system is shaping up to be a strong contender, building on the success of previous models.
As the launch date nears, more leaks are expected to clarify the full picture of this flagship’s capabilities. Samsung fans can look forward to a device that balances familiar features with possible tweaks to enhance performance. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to the official reveal.

Samsung improves Secure Folder sharing in One UI 8

Samsung is making its Secure Folder feature even better with the One UI 8 update, giving users more control over their private apps and data. Secure Folder is a special space on Galaxy devices where you can keep sensitive files and apps safe with extra security, like a password or fingerprint.
With One UI 8, Samsung adds new options to manage how apps in Secure Folder work with sharing. You can now choose whether these apps show up in the share menu when you want to send files or data from other apps.
This means you can share content directly to Secure Folder apps if you want, or keep them hidden for more privacy. It’s all about giving you the power to decide what’s shared and what stays private. Another handy feature lets you close all Secure Folder apps automatically when you lock the folder.
This encrypts the apps and stops them from showing notifications or appearing in other menus until you unlock the folder again. You can also allow some apps to keep running in the background, so they can still send notifications if needed.
These changes make Secure Folder more secure and easier to use. The One UI 8 beta is already available for Galaxy S25 users, with a full release expected soon, bringing these privacy upgrades to more Galaxy devices.
