Relumino Mode
One of the amazing features of Samsung Accessibility is Relumino Mode. It is designed to improve the video viewing experience. By enhancing specific parts of videos, such as highlighting outlines and improving contrast, color, and sharpness, it becomes easier to discern and follow the on-screen action.
Samsung brought Relumino outline mode to the Galaxy S23 series with One UI 6.1. The company’s premium Smart TVs introduced Relumino mode, making the content visible to people with low vision.
After One UI 6.1, Samsung is gearing up for the release of its next software iteration based on Android 14, One UI 6.1.1.

Samsung Health will drop support for some older Galaxy phones. The input comes from an APKTeardown, uncovering an upcoming Notice to the platform. Most users will remain unaffected by the change in requirements set to apply in the future.
The most recent version of the Samsung Health app isn’t supported on much older Galaxy phones. One UI’s Health app version 6.27 is no longer available for devices running Android 9 or older. AndroidAuthority noted that the change was already rolled out late last month.
“You may still use Samsung Health, without upgrading Android OS, but will only be able to use limited services and features without further support,” reads an excerpt of the notice.
Galaxy phones running Android 9 or older won’t be supporting Samsung Health anymore. It will prevent users of phones like the Galaxy Note 9 and S9 from using the Health monitoring app. The app’s minimum OS requirement has been bumped to Android 10 or higher.
Notably, the change applies to the latest update to the app. Older versions still working on phones with Android 8 and Android 9. The old version may continue to work, but users should forget about official support in case of bugs and no new features will be provided.
Samsung smartphones like the Galaxy S8 series and older, Galaxy Note 8 and older, and a host of older A and J series won’t receive an updated Health app. Many of you may have been using your old Galaxy as a secondary device, so it isn’t a concerning matter.
Back in 2021, the South Korean tech giant revised the Health app’s OS requirement. That time, the company ditched support for Android Marshmallow and Nougat devices. We guess that the next minimum OS provision might arrive in three years.
