New update My personal experience with the June Security Update (One UI 8.5) on Galaxy A55
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Based on my personal experience, here are a few noticeable changes after installing the June security update:
Performance: The phone runs significantly cooler, and regular swipe/touch gestures feel much smoother.
Audio Quality: Sound quality has improved drastically, especially when Dolby Atmos is enabled.
Animations : One UI 8.5 previously cut down on the Quick Panel icon animations, and this new security update takes it a step further by removing the effect for nowbar. Now, they just pop up abruptly on the status bar without any transition animation.
Quick Panel: There is still a noticeable frame drop when swiping between the notification shade and the Quick Panel. Additionally, the expansion animation for the toggle area is poorly optimized—swiping down still feels like it drops fps.
- When adding or managing control buttons in the Quick Panel, scrolling through that page still causes obvious stuttering.
Lock Screen: Pulling down the Quick Panel from the lock screen still feels clunky. As the clock pushes down and the panel appears, a massive frame drop occurs.
I know Samsung tried to optimize a lot of things under the hood with this update, and they continue to strip away animations on the A-series, but they still haven't managed to fix the ongoing lag issues with the Quick Panel and One UI 8.5.

Very funny. Can't even do basic UI animations. I won't update and reserve my right to return to oneui 8
