The second XL5 One UI 7 beta firmware weighs around 1.06GB and packs the December security patch. Early posts on X point to minor but useful changes in the build, like the brightness and volume sliders swapping places in the Quick Settings panel. Another notable new feature is the ability to set the refresh rate to 60 or 120Hz within Game Booster.
