1:29
everything is in the pen comment
1:30
description if you guys are interested
1:32
in that okay so let's go ahead and talk
1:34
about the update let me just back out of
1:36
the article cuz I can show you guys on
1:38
this device this is my unlocked US
1:40
Galaxy S25 Ultra now the carrier locked
1:43
models started receiving the update
1:45
actually a few days ago in the US
1:46
carrier locked models seem to get it
1:48
before the unlocked models now
1:50
unfortunately but here's the build it
1:52
ends in AYD9 728.23 megabytes here on my
1:56
unlocked model April 1st 2025 security
1:58
patch uh usual kind of jargon up here
2:00
you see stability and reliability device
2:02
behavior security uh you'll not be able
2:04
to downgrade to the old software because
2:05
of updates to security policy and it
2:08
kind of tells you everything in here now
2:09
we know from other users that there's
2:12
not only some performance improvements
2:13
but also feature improvements UI changes
2:16
and also some camera tweaks in this
2:18
particular update you can always tap on
2:20
this link too but in the case of this
2:22
particular one it doesn't really tell
2:24
you too much about it in fact here it
2:26
has the March security patch listed
2:28
doesn't really have anything
2:29
specifically about this one yet usually
2:31
that page is behind of course it also
2:33
brings the latest security patches from
2:35
Google and Samsung to fix all those
2:36
vulnerabilities all right so let's get
2:38
into the list of features usually I
2:39
don't make a keep document checklist for
2:41
a monthly security patch but there's
2:42
some things I didn't want to forget that
2:44
I noticed with this particular update
2:45
the first one is app security options
2:47
inside of the settings for privacy and
2:49
security so if you go into settings if
2:51
you scroll down to security and privacy
2:53
now go into app security here you'll
2:55
notice it says turn on app protection
2:57
google Play Protect has been there on
2:58
the S25 Ultra but on the S24 series and
3:01
the foldables who got the recent 1 UI7
3:03
again stable build this feature was
3:05
added it's been added to the S25 as well
3:07
this is in partnership with McAfee so
3:09
you can decide if you want to turn this
3:10
on or not it will make it harder to
3:12
install some apps and if you sideloadad
3:14
stuff like that it's probably not a good
3:15
idea to turn it on but for the general
3:16
users it probably isn't a bad idea to go
3:18
ahead and switch this on you can always
3:20
go back and turn this off it's really
3:21
not a problem go into app protection
3:23
settings you can turn this back off or
3:25
you can also use to autoscan apps daily
3:28
turn that on and autoscan when
3:29
installing apps so you can turn this off
3:31
if it's something that you don't need
3:33
but it has been added with the April
3:35
update on the S25 series the next thing
3:38
is Meteor player live notifications now
3:40
this is the feature I think that
3:41
probably a lot of you were waiting on if
3:43
we go in here and I don't want to get
3:44
hit with a copyright violation but if we
3:47
go into my YouTube music let's just turn
3:49
some music on i don't know let's turn on
3:51
some exhibit here and I back out now
3:54
you're going to see your live
3:55
notification up there you guys can see
3:57
it you can tap on that the
4:00
animation it's kind of hard to do behind
4:02
the camera the animation's fine it's
4:03
just you know tricky to tap fastly
4:06
behind the camera with the the monopod
4:07
right here but you can see it does work
4:09
perfectly you've now got your live
4:11
notification here in the notification
4:12
shade it's also still lives over here in
4:14
the quick settings panel as well so if
4:16
you guys like that you get the best of
4:17
both worlds and of course it's also
4:19
still on your now bar for instance on
4:21
the lock screen and things like that so
4:23
adding the live notifications is great
4:24
that also now works for YouTube as well
4:27
so if you want live notifications to
4:28
control your media I tested it with
4:31
other like streaming services like
4:32
Netflix and Hulu doesn't seem to work
4:34
there yet let's actually just do a quick
4:36
test my buddy Sakitech you guys Sakitech
4:38
is one of the best in the business when
4:39
it comes to Samsung i was checking out
4:41
his video earlier on stuff you guys can
4:43
see right there right there there it is
4:45
on YouTube samsung dropped the brilliant
4:47
1 UI7 update this one's about the quick
4:49
uh quick connect for devices up here all
4:51
your nearby devices i was going to make
4:53
a piece on that too great video that
4:55
Saki did you guys can see how it works
4:56
there with the YouTube notifications as
4:58
well um the next thing is the fatter
5:01
battery icon so some people are either
5:03
going to love this or you're going to
5:04
hate it uh I am really honestly not a
5:06
big fan about it i was faciciously
5:08
positing on X that I really love it but
5:10
I really kind of don't i kind of like
5:11
the slimmer one that the S25 Ultra had
5:14
in the beginning but you can see when
5:15
you pull it down it actually does get a
5:17
little smaller when you go into the
5:18
quick settings if you guys can see that
5:20
but it's definitely chunkier shorter
5:23
fatter rounder whatever you want to call
5:25
it some people say it's more readable
5:26
which I guess I understand if that's the
5:28
reason that you like it maybe if you
5:30
have poor vision i mean I use glasses
5:31
and I I could still see the other one
5:33
but uh anyway that is there like it or
5:36
not that's been changed it was there on
5:38
the S24 build on the ZFold 6 the ZFold
5:41
SE build that I got as well so Samsung
5:44
is going that direction it's not a
5:45
mistake now we also have the now brief
5:48
has a couple of changes first of all
5:50
you'll notice that they've added some
5:52
new text here to the now brief sometimes
5:55
this will have more descriptive text
5:57
like instead of saying morning brief I
5:59
actually took some screenshots earlier
6:00
because I knew that as soon as I made
6:02
this video it would change back to
6:03
saying morning brief and so I was like
6:06
people are going to think I'm lying so
6:07
here I seen a lot more varied text in
6:10
the morning so here it said sunny
6:11
morning here it says time to shine
6:14
they've kind of changed up the variance
6:16
of the text before it was pretty much
6:17
always morning brief midday brief you
6:20
know evening brief and then like night
6:21
owl or whatever but now they've changed
6:23
up some of that a little bit and they've
6:25
also added two new features to the
6:26
content to include in the now brief so
6:29
if you go to the now brief in your
6:31
settings and then scroll down keep in
6:33
mind now brief is still exclusive to the
6:35
S25 for now it'll come to older devices
6:37
with 1 UI8 tap on content to include you
6:40
now have these two new options blocked
6:42
messages which will show you a summary
6:44
of blocked messages in your now brief
6:46
and battery status which will show your
6:47
battery status um in your now brief to
6:50
get some information about your battery
6:51
in there so I've yet to see either of
6:54
these two appear i actually blocked some
6:56
messages uh numbers and sent messages
6:58
from my own numbers to see how that
7:00
appears later in the day hopefully and
7:02
then battery status i'm not sure yet
7:04
what that will look like but as soon as
7:05
I get a now brief that shows this
7:08
obviously I'll probably milk a post over
7:09
at Sammy Guru maybe another video if
7:11
it's worth it but at least to post one
7:14
other thing that I noticed when I first
7:15
got this update is there's also an
7:17
information about the now brief and I
7:18
didn't even know this before but the now
7:20
brief can actually be accessed from the
7:21
edge panel i thought this was new but
7:23
it's actually been there before you can
7:25
tap on this icon in the edge panel and
7:26
get your now brief i had absolutely no
7:29
idea that that was there before but
7:31
apparently it is something that we've
7:32
had uh for a little bit at least and is
7:35
not part of the April update the last
7:36
one I want to show you guys is the new
7:38
battery animation so here the charging
7:41
animation let me just plug in a cable
7:43
here to my basis power bank which I
7:46
showed you guys in a previous video this
7:48
is a wireless MagS safe power bank but
7:50
you can also use it for wire charging
7:54
and so there's the charging animation
7:56
when you've got the screen off let me go
7:59
back and do the one that's actually new
8:01
turn the screen off on accident here's
8:03
the one here with the screen on you guys
8:06
can see it right there i kind of prefer
8:08
the other charging animation but this
8:11
one is still pretty nice i'll do it one
8:13
more time so you guys can take a look at
8:14
it
8:17
and there it is so that's the other
8:19
change that we have improvement with the
8:22
April 2025 update for the Galaxy S25
8:25
series now in terms of stability and
8:27
performance I haven't noticed any
8:28
hiccups i've only had it you know less
8:30
than 12 hours battery life again it's
8:32
impossible to say with less than 12
8:33
hours of use but it does seem pretty
8:36
nice brings it in line with all the
8:38
features that were on the newer builds
8:40
that actually were newer in terms of
8:42
feature sets for the S24 etc um some
8:46
nice stuff here i do like having the
8:48
live notifications obviously for media
8:50
that's a big thing i'm not a huge fan of
8:52
the battery icon the charging animation
8:54
is good i like the other one slightly
8:56
better but it's uh not a bad thing
8:58
improving now brief is obviously great
9:00
uh let me know if you guys have seen any
9:02
other changes things like that that have
9:04
come with this particular update i
9:06
haven't really noticed any other you
9:07

9:10
