Leaks promised Galaxy S26 hand-me-downs, including [portrait lighting](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-one-ui-9-portrait-lighting-leak-3702045/) and gimbal-like [Horizontal Lock](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s25-horizontal-lock-one-ui-9-leak-3688568/), before the [first beta arrived](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s25-one-ui-9-beta-1-3705298/) last week. Samsung is already back with Beta 2, giving testers more than bugs to squash.\n\nThe second One UI 9 beta is rolling out to the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra in South Korea. The 643.16MB update carries firmware version S93xNKSUCZZI4 and should reach other beta markets soon.\n\nThe official [changelog](https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AD%EC%8B%9C-s/%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AD%EC%8B%9C-s25-%EC%8B%9C%EB%A6%AC%EC%A6%88-one-ui-9-0-2%EC%B0%A8-%EB%B2%A0%ED%83%80-%EC%97%85%EB%8D%B0%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8-9-8-zzi4/td-p/39361048) simply mentions “new AI features,” but [*SamMobile*](https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-s25-four-new-galaxy-ai-features-one-ui-9-beta-2-update/) reports four: Call Brief, Custom Cards in Now Brief, Now Nudge, and My FanCam. All debuted on newer Galaxy flagships, so S25 owners are getting useful trickle-down upgrades rather than just Android 17.\n\nCall Brief surfaces relevant information and events during calls, potentially saving you from scrambling through messages or your calendar mid-conversation. Custom Cards let you build personal Now Brief updates using data from Samsung Health, Weather, and YouTube, then decide when they appear.\n\nNow Nudge reads what is happening on-screen and suggests a relevant next step, such as opening your calendar when a conversation turns to scheduling. My FanCam can pick a person in an existing video, follow them, and reframe the footage to keep them centered. That sounds especially handy for concerts or sports, where your intended star rarely stands still.\n\nBeta 2 also fixes Bixby Vision translation errors, temporary Contacts app crashes, and Wi-Fi connection drops. Those fixes matter for anyone brave enough to run prerelease software on a daily driver.\n\nSamsung has not released stable Android 17 to an older Galaxy device so far, although several Galaxy S, Z, and A models have joined testing. A second S25 beta only a week after the first doesn’t guarantee an imminent release, but Samsung clearly isn’t wasting time getting there.\n\nEnrolled users can check under **Settings** > **Software update** > **Check for updates**.\n\nThank you for being part of our community.
