Samsung One UI 4.0 expands limit of free storage with Ram Plus/Virtual RAM
Samsung has finally released the Android 12 beta in the form of One UI 4 beta. This latest version of Samsung’s Android skin doesn’t see various changes compared to last year’s One UI 3. However, beta can be installed on selected Galaxy devices with the Samsung member app.
Surprisingly, in line with Android 12, the One UI 4 is focused on customizing its key changes. There are some very comprehensive updates to privacy and device care, but for the most part, these changes are small on the board.
Here’s is one of the notable features is Ram Plus or Virtual RAM in the latest Android 12 based One UI 4.0 beta for Galaxy devices.
Samsung One UI 4.0 – Ram Plus/Virtual RAM
To explain, RAM Plus is a feature that uses part of your device’s storage to create “virtual RAM” that increases the limit on your Galaxy smartphone. For Samsung Galaxy high-end smartphones with more than 8-12GB of RAM, this is probably not a problem, but for low-end devices with hardware limits, this can be a real way to increase or improve overall performance levels.
In One UI 4.0 Beta 2, you cannot disable “RAM Plus” as it is automatically enabled. You can see just how much space is used by going –
- Settings
- Device Care
- Memory.
Here you will be able to clear or unmount RAM and see how much “virtual memory” is received when the system deems it necessary.
We’re not sure if this will slow down or disable automatically if you lack the available space, but it seems to be installed at 4GB. And it’s important to know that this isn’t the same as physically installing 4GB of RAM on your device, but it can help if heavy apps take up app resources or you want to play much-needed games and be happy to sacrifice some of the app’s performance levels.
It is worth noting that this has already been released for some of Samsung’s favorites, including the brand new Galaxy A52 and Z Fold 3, but joining the larger One UI 4.0 architecture could expand it on all devices.

Recently, an internal One UI 7 (Android 15) build surfaced on Samsung’s software server for the Galaxy S23 FE. The build carries PDA version number S711BXXU6EXKM, where “E” refers to a major version bump in the near future.
Samsung has significantly delayed this year’s Beta Program. The owners of Galaxy S25 smartphones still missing out access to the One UI 7 Beta. The public rollout is delayed till the first half of the next year.
Well, this long wait will end up bringing fruitful upgrades to your Galaxy. The company is exploring a brand new interface across the OS. Many new features are being added in the One UI 7, with AI upgrades due for the One UI 7.1 software.
Google and some other Android vendors started a stable Android 15 update rollout. The distribution commenced after months of Beta testing. Beyond that, Google has just kickstarted the Developer Beta of the Android 16 operating system.
One UI 7.0 update is expected to be released for your Galaxy S23 FE by February 2025. Samsung will unveil the final version alongside the Galaxy S25 series next year. Later on, eligible devices will begin getting the major firmware update.
Galaxy S23 FE runs an Exynos 2200 chip, offering decent performance. Samsung’s next big upgrade will elevate your phone’s animation and transitions to a whole new level. A tipster has recently revealed key information about the changes.

Samsung has already begun rolling out the long-awaited One UI update for its smart TVs, based on Tizen OS 8.0. It introduces a design overhaul that brings elements of its smartphone UI to the big screen. Although the overall experience still feels distinct from the One UI found on Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
The One UI update for smart TVs brings changes to the Daily Board feature. This screen shows useful widgets and wallpapers, and now it has a more One UI-inspired design. Widgets like Weather, Notes, Tips, and SmartThings Home Status now have a similar look to what you’d see on a Galaxy phone.
Samsung Weather and SmartThings widgets look almost identical to the ones on smartphones. Moreover, the Samsung Notes app icon is also familiar.

With the Daily Board, you can choose which widgets you want to display, change the background wallpaper, and set up automatic widget rotation. If you place more than four widgets on the screen, they will rotate automatically. However, there are some limitations. You can’t set a custom wallpaper only the preloaded options are available.
While the One UI update brings some fresh features, Samsung’s TV interface still has a lot of the old Tizen design. The Settings menu still looks very much like it did before, and the app icons, while similar, don’t fully match the modern style of One UI on phones.
Samsung is making progress in bringing One UI to its TVs, but there’s more work to be done. Future updates may bring more changes to make the experience feel even more like the One UI on your smartphone or tablet.
Aside from this, Samsung recently released a new update for the Daily Board app, which brings Night Clock mode and bug fixes to enhance users’ experience.
