The Galaxy S24 series received the first One UI 8 beta update earlier this month, and now the second beta has arrived. As one would expect, there are several bug fixes and a new September 2025 security patch. Nothing else is mentioned in the changelog, but further investigation reveals that Samsung has actually added three new AI features.

The AI features included with the second One UI 8 beta update are Audio Eraser v2, Call Captions, and Now Brief. The Audio Eraser v2 and Call Captions features were first spotted in the initial One UI 8 betas of Galaxy S25.

The Now Brief, though, isn’t a brand new feature. It debuted on the Galaxy S25 series with One UI 7, but Samsung didn’t bring this feature to any other Galaxy device with the One UI 7 update. That’s changing, as the One UI 8 beta for the S24 series includes this feature. A few other Galaxy devices may also receive this feature with the stable release.

Let’s learn about these features in detail.

Now Brief

This is an AI-powered feature that provides users with a personalized daily briefing of selected content that updates throughout the day. It’s accessible via the Now Bar, through a widget on the home screen, and the Edge panel. This feature displays bite-sized information such as weather updates, upcoming events, health insights, reminders, and missed calls.

Now Brief is designed to keep users organized and informed by delivering relevant, timely updates. The good thing is that Samsung processes most of its personalized data on the device itself rather than fully relying on the cloud. The company uses Personal Data Engine (PDE) and Knox Vault security to store and process user data locally, while also ensuring the data remains private and protected on the device.

Audio Eraser v2

Samsung’s Audio Eraser feature, debuted with One UI 7, uses AI to automatically identify audio tracks in a video and remove background noise. The tool can identify up to six distinct sound sources in a video and allows users to reduce, remove, or enhance  individual sound types based on their needs.

One UI 8 beta brings an upgraded Audio Eraser that also works with Samsung Notes and Voice Recorder (previously limited to Gallery). In both of these apps, once you record the audio, a small Galaxy AI icon appears below the audio; tapping it instantly removes the noise from the audio. So, the improved Audio Eraser doesn’t require a dedicated screen to remove noise. Samsung has also made the feature faster inside the Gallery app.

Call Captions

The new Call captions feature, spotted in the second One UI 8 beta for the S24 series, provides real-time captions for voice calls using AI. When enabled, it transcribes what the other person says during a voice call. This can be pretty helpful in noisy environments or for people with hearing difficulties.
