Samsung drops Android 16 beta for Galaxy S25 with more AI you probably don't want
Briefly

The upcoming Android version will debut in June on Pixel phones, with some early access via Samsung's open beta program for Galaxy S25 devices. Users can easily enroll via the Samsung Members app and receive a weighty yet rapid OTA update. While One UI 8 incorporates more AI features, it remains vague and its 'personalized suggestions' do not significantly enhance user experience compared to prior versions. Initial impressions indicate that the updates primarily revisit existing functionalities, without substantial innovations.
The Galaxy S25 series includes Now Brief and Now Bar, aiming to provide personalized insights from data, but the performance remains largely unchanged.
Samsung's One UI 8 beta, available for Galaxy S25 series, promises more AI features, but its benefits and enhancements appear minimal during initial use.
