Samsung Prepares for Game-Changing Update

The tech world is buzzing as Samsung gears up to unleash One UI 8.5, the next major Android update for its Galaxy devices. Recent leaks hint at innovative AI capabilities and a sleek design reminiscent of Liquid Glass.

AI Takes Center Stage with Exciting New Features

Galaxy AI has been making waves lately, and One UI 8.5 promises to broaden its horizons further. A recent screenshot shared on social media showcases four dazzling new features that are set to elevate user experience:

- **Meeting Assist**: Experience real-time translation for discussions and presentations.

- **Touch Assistant**: Enhance your reading efficiency as it processes on-screen text.

- **Smart Clipboard**: Enjoy intelligent suggestions—like Correct, Summarize, Translate—when copying text.

- **Social Composer**: Create engaging social media posts from your images and generate product reviews directly within shopping apps.

A New Launcher Shortcut for AI Agents

In an exciting twist, the update will introduce support for AI agents, including Gemini, Gauss Cloud, and Perplexity, via a new launcher shortcut that could potentially replace the Google Search bar. Users can expect succinct, informative responses limited to three sentences.

Redesigned Apps with a Liquid Glass Aesthetic

Thanks to leaks from SammyGuru, we know the My Files app will sport a fresh redesign, featuring circular categories that echo the chic Liquid Glass vibe. Although it’s not identical to Apple’s iOS 26 aesthetic, the similarities in shape and layout are certainly intriguing.

Additional Features to Look Forward To

Among other features revealed in the leaked files are:

- A **Call Screening** functionality similar to Google Pixel's.

- A **Private Display** feature that limits screen visibility from the sides.

- An NFC trigger to enhance Quick Share capabilities.

- The return of **pollen information** in the Samsung Weather app.

When Can We Expect the Launch?

Samsung is likely to roll out One UI 8.5 alongside the Galaxy S26 series early next year. However, the company is currently focused on ensuring a smooth rollout of One UI 8, which just began last week.
