Here's an early look at how One UI 8 is revamping Auracast for easier broadcasts
Robert Triggs / Android Authority
TL;DR Samsung is updating the Auracast settings page on Galaxy devices in One UI 8.
The redesigned settings page, spotted in a leaked firmware build, features visual and usability improvements.
This design update could help familiarize users with the feature and make sharing audio easier with a QR code.
Samsung Galaxy devices with Bluetooth LE Audio support have a handy feature called Auracast, which lets you broadcast audio to multiple devices with ease. However, not many Galaxy users are familiar with this feature, as it's buried deep within Bluetooth settings. To address this, Samsung is updating the Auracast settings page in One UI 8 with some visual and usability improvements.
SammyGuru has spotted the updated Auracast settings page in a leaked build of One UI 8 and shared the following screenshots. It features a new banner highlighting what the feature does with an illustration and has a more prominent 'Start broadcast' button that follows the new One UI 8 design language.

One UI 8's Aurcast settings page also has a more obvious visual indicator for when you're actively broadcasting, a slick new animation, and a large button to stop the broadcast. In addition, Samsung is adding an easier way to help others connect to your broadcast by scanning a QR code.

The QR code button appears on top of the 'Stop broadcast' button, and opens a new page with a QR code that other users can scan to join a broadcast without entering the password. These changes should familiarize more Galaxy users with the Auracast feature and make it easier to start and join broadcasts. Note that the updated design may not be final since this new Auracast settings page was discovered in a leaked One UI 8 build. Samsung might make further changes before One UI 8 hits the stable channel.

Source: Getty Images / Samsung / Doechii Samsung, with some help from Grammy Award-winning artist Doechii, celebrated the launch of its newest and thinnest flagship phone model, the Galaxy S25 Edge. Last night at the Edge NYC, Samsung brought the swamp to the sky, powered by Galaxy AI, in celebration of Doechii joining #TeamGalaxy and the arrival of the Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone. HipHopWired was among the select group of guests, influencers, and celebrities in attendance for the momentous occasion, which took place high above New York City's impressive skyline. Source: Getty Images / Samsung / Doechii Notable guests in attendance included fashion designer LaQuan Smith, Malik McIntrye, Joel Moore-Hagan, Jaden Smith, and many more. Before Doechii arrived, guests enjoyed light nights and signature cocktails while the Swamp Princess' personal vibes provider, DJ Miss Milan, kept heads nodding and toes tapping. Source: Getty Images / Samsung / Doechii Eventually, it was time for guests to head outside and live life on the edge, taking in Doechii's groundbreaking performance on the venue's impressive Edge Skydeck stage, which is literally in the clouds. Doechiig didn't disappoint, rocking a puffer trench from White Abyss, paired with earrings from Missoma and shoes from Jacquemus while putting on a short but still groundbreaking performance, belting out her hits like 'Boiled Peanuts' and 'Denial Is A River,' before exiting the stage. It was an epic moment indeed. The Lowdown On The Galaxy S25 Edge As for the Galaxy S25 Edge, it's Samsung's thinnest smartphone offering yet, measuring 5.8 millimeters in thickness and weighing only 163 grams, while still sporting premium features, making it one of the thinnest smartphones on the market. The thin smartphone features a durable titanium build paired with the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. It also features two premium cameras: a 200MP wide lens and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor with autofocus, enabling detailed macro photography and Nightography. Under the hood is the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, which delivers snappy performance, on-device AI processing, and features like the Now Brief and Now Bar. The Galaxy S25 Edge is available right now via Samsung's website and your cellphone service provider, and costs $1,099. To see more photos from the fantastic event, hit the gallery below.

Google Phone app is getting a visual makeover with Android 16's Material 3 Expressive
Material 3 Expressive design, for Android 16, has been spotted on the Phone by Google app. Google's Phone app gets larger elements, new buttons, and more. In-call "More" controls now appear as a pop-up menu. Android 16 is a big release, not just in terms of new features but also because of the overhaul of the operating system's Material Design language. Google is calling it Material 3 Expressive, and the company is already working on introducing the design language to some of its popular apps, including Calendar, Photos, Files, and Meet. It's safe to assume that the Mountain View tech giant will introduce Material 3 Expressive to all its Android apps to ensure design consistency in the operating system. While we're all excited to see how Material 3 Expressive transforms each of the Google apps on Android, we just got a solid look at what the Phone by Google app will look like with Android 16's design, courtesy of Android Authority's APK teardown of the app's version 177.0.763181107-publicbeta-pixel2024. The design makeover was spotted on the incoming call screen and in-call menu. The incoming call screen shows the rounded call button, which still supports the vertical swipe gesture for answering or declining calls. This could be seen as a major hint that the company has no plans to replace the vertical swipe with a horizontal swipe and simple tap-to-answer/decline buttons. Image source: Android Authority The in-call screen also shows a new animation for the profile picture of the caller. However, the animation disappears when you receive the call, with the screen showing the name, phone number, profile picture, buttons, and menu, all of which appear bigger than the current ones. The in-call screen is much more than changes in size. The shape of the in-call buttons also changed from round to oval. These buttons change shape to a rounded square upon pressing. We don't see any new buttons, but there is a noteworthy change in how the "More" menu appears. Currently, the "More" button reveals additional control options, including "Add call," Video call," and "Hold," all of which appear in the same container as the other buttons. But with Material 3 Expressive, the additional controls now appear in a pop-up style menu, appearing just above those buttons. Another major change we can spot is the redesigned reject call button, which is now pill-shaped and not rounded. Again, all these changes are currently going through the internal testing phase and are not available to general users. As much as we'd love to see them on the Phone app, there is no clarity about when they will be available. We expect the redesign to be available before Material 3 Expressive is rolled out to Pixel phones via a Feature drop later in the year. Phone by Google Google LLC TOOLS Price: Free 4.5 Download

Fasoo Smart Screen Bolsters Supply Chain Security with Advanced Screen Protection
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, June 2, 2025 / / -- Fasoo, the leader in data-centric security, introduces new momentum for Fasoo Smart Screen (FSS), its advanced screen security solution designed to control unauthorized screen capture tools and display a dynamic watermark on screen, deterring users from taking a photo using smartphones. As global supply chains become increasingly digitized and distributed, organizations face heightened pressure to secure every touchpoint where sensitive data is accessed. Organizations in the semiconductor, automotive, energy, aerospace, and defense industries, as well as companies across their supply chains, recognize that protecting what's visible on the screen is just as critical as securing files in storage or in transit.

The solution prevents unauthorized screen captures, applies dynamic watermarks to deter visual leaks, and logs screen-based activity to support incident response and compliance efforts.

'Fasoo Smart Screen helps organizations enforce zero trust principles even at the screen level, ensuring that visual data exposure doesn't become a weak link.' Fasoo has seen rising adoption of FSS across industries with complex and high-value supply chains, including semiconductors, automotive, and electronics. In these environments, engineers, suppliers, and contractors frequently access critical IP and confidential design data via virtual desktops or remote platforms. FSS helps ensure that what's shown on-screen – from chip layouts to production blueprints – stays protected at all times throughout the extended supply chain. Key Features of Fasoo Smart Screen: • Dynamic Screen Watermarks: Apply on-screen, user-specific watermarks that allow tracing data breaches back to their source. • Screen Capture Prevention: Block all screen capture attempts, including the Print Screen key, snipping tools, remote control software, or other capture applications. • Comprehensive Activity Log: Monitor screen capture attempts for audits, compliance management, and incident response. • Seamless Integration: FSS is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and various environments, ensuring comprehensive protection across diverse platforms.
