Summary
One UI 9 beta adds five notable quality-of-life tools on Galaxy phones: a real-time network speed indicator, per-app internet blocking, unified call logs, Tap to share, and a Driving report.
Two connectivity features target visibility and focus: the speed meter appears through Good Lock’s QuickStar module, while Connectivity Labs lets users block internet access for selected apps and schedule daily downtime with a 6-digit PIN.
The Phone app now merges regular calls with supported third-party services such as WhatsApp and Google Meet, while still letting users exclude specific apps from the combined history.
Tap to share uses NFC to start file transfers by touching compatible phones together, and from the home screen it can swap contact details in a NameDrop-like interaction.
Driving report activates after pairing a car over Bluetooth and logs route, distance, time, average speed, braking and turning behavior, though Samsung could still change or drop beta features before release.
