I thought I would start this thread so we can all share what differences, changes, improvements and anything that's become worse since jumping in on the One UI 8 Beta and any apps or features that don't work on the beta.
I will start off with i am finding the battery has improved, the UI seems more fluid and quicker. So far Google wallet and my Santander banking app work perfectly, thought I would mention these because for most they stop working.
My Calendar widget seems clearer to my old eyes, the font seems sharper and a little bigger.
Let me know your thoughts and anything you have noticed 😁
Two things put me off : it doesnt seem to offer any benefit to me just a potential slow down. Also
Using normal RAM as paging memory/swap space increases the number of read/writes on that section of RAM. Admittedly the phone will prob die of other reasons first but RAM read/writes aren't infinite.
I wonder what the logic is on 50% on top of the onboard RAM. That was the old Windows allocation.
Looking now and memory is than 50% in real use. The furthest right is free and the top right is cache which it will also reuse if needed.
Each to their own. 👍

Not sure if this is new but I never noticed it before. Shortcut to app notifications settings at the bottom of the notification panel.
Some updates from me on my S25 Ultra, firstly the now brief on my lock screen shows morning brief no matter what time it is but once you click to expand it shows the correct brief for time of day and once closed it shows morning brief on the widget, see screenshot.
I noticed on occasion Amazon app closes while using it, nothing major just occasionally.
A game i play called freezes sometimes and needs to be closed fully to restart, three game is blockudoko.
Yesterday when I downloaded and installed the latest Google play system update the phone completely froze when it got to the lockscreen. I entered my pattern multiple times and it wouldn't unlock as if it didn't detect the input. I soft reset the phone using the buttons to restart it and it worked.
Anyone else experienced anything on the current beta?
