TL;DR
- One UI 8.5 beta now supports partial screen recording on Galaxy S25.
- The feature automatically detects which part of the screen you may want to record.
- One UI 8.5 should launch in stable on the Galaxy S26 series.
One UI 8.5 has a handy new screen recording option on Galaxy S25. The ability to record just part of your phone’s screen was first spotted in a One UI 8.5 test build in October, and now it’s actually available in the ongoing beta.
Samsung leaker Ice Universe posted a video this morning of the new feature in action on a Galaxy S25 Ultra. When starting a screen recording, One UI gives options to record the entire screen or just a section of it. If you choose the latter, your phone will try to identify the section of the screen it should be recording, but you can also define it manually.
