Samsung Galaxy S25 gets four new features with One UI 9 Beta 2 update

TL;DR

Samsung’s second One UI 9.0 beta for the Galaxy S25 adds bug fixes plus four new Galaxy AI features: Call Brief, Custom Cards in Now Brief, Now Nudge, and My FanCam.

The new tools add call-screen context, personalized daily briefings, real-time action suggestions, and video reframing to track a person.

Samsung says these features were first on newer Galaxy devices, and they may later reach other recent high-end phones.

Today, Samsung released the second One UI 9.0 beta update for the Galaxy S25 series. Besides bug fixes and stability improvements, the update has brought four new Galaxy AI features—Call Brief, Custom Cards in Now Brief, Now Nudge, and My FanCam—for all three phones in the lineup.

Call Brief: During a call, the phone automatically displays contextual information and related events directly on the call screen so that it is easier for you to remember things and have better context of the conversation.

Custom Cards in Now Brief: Allows you to create custom daily briefings that contain information you care about. You can choose several data points from Samsung Health, Samsung Weather, and YouTube apps to make a Custom Card and choose at what time it should be displayed in the Now Brief section.

Now Nudge: Analyzes the screen in real-time to suggest timely actions and next steps without switching the screen to another app.

My FanCam: It lets you automatically track a specific person in a view and reframe it to the center after you have already recorded the video. It works with any videos stored on your phone.

All these features either debuted earlier this year with the Galaxy S26 series or last month with the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series.

Now, the South Korean firm has brought them to the Galaxy S25 series as well, showing that it doesn't just releases Android version updates but also brings advanced new custom features to older devices if they have capable hardware.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy S25 FE are also getting these AI features with their second One UI 9 beta updates.
