One UI 8 Hands-On Video Teases Galaxy AI’s Expansion Beyond the S25 Series

A new hands-on video featuring One UI 8 has surfaced, giving an early look at what Samsung’s upcoming OS update might deliver. Based on Android 16, this early beta build suggests significant enhancements, including the broader rollout of Galaxy AI’s Now Brief feature. Originally introduced with the Galaxy S25 series earlier this year, Now Brief may soon become available on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and potentially more devices across Samsung’s lineup. Additionally, subtle updates to apps like File Manager and Gallery were also spotted in the footage.

Published by SamMobile, the hands-on video showcases One UI 8 running on a Galaxy Z Flip 6 unit. One of the standout observations is the integration of Now Brief, a feature that leverages Galaxy AI to provide users with personalized daily summaries. These briefings include content such as health stats, calendar events, news updates, traffic alerts, and travel recommendations, all neatly organized in an easy-to-scan card format. Its presence on the Z Flip 6 suggests Samsung’s plans to expand the feature’s reach beyond just the latest flagships.

Interestingly, hints of Now Brief’s broader availability had already surfaced earlier. Although it was not officially usable on other Galaxy devices running One UI 7, the necessary code for the feature was embedded in the system. Access to it remained restricted, but One UI 8 seems poised to change that. Samsung appears ready to activate Now Brief for a wider range of models, significantly enhancing the daily user experience through Galaxy AI.

While Samsung has not officially confirmed the full list of devices eligible for Now Brief with One UI 8, the early hands-on video paints an exciting picture for Galaxy users. Alongside AI-driven innovations, users can also expect smaller usability improvements across various apps, ensuring One UI 8 continues Samsung’s trend of combining smart functionality with thoughtful software refinements.

Microsoft Brings ‘Stream Your Own Game’ to Xbox Series S/X Consoles

Microsoft is expanding its popular ‘stream your own game’ feature, officially bringing it to all Xbox Series S and X consoles for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. Previously available on PCs, smartphones, tablets, handhelds, and other supported devices, the feature now allows console players to stream both games they own and titles available through the Game Pass library — no download necessary.

The update was announced as part of Xbox’s April software rollout. With this change, Xbox consoles join an already extensive list of devices where cloud gaming is supported, including Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV devices, Meta Quest VR headsets, and any browser-enabled devices like laptops and tablets. Microsoft continues to blur the lines between console and cloud by making it easier to access games wherever and whenever players want.

Using the ‘stream your own game’ option is simple for Xbox Series S/X owners. Players can navigate to My games & apps > Full library > Owned Games to find titles they have purchased. Games that are cloud-enabled will show a special cloud icon on their page. There’s also a handy “Cloud Gaming” filter that helps users quickly spot all available titles ready for instant play without clogging up valuable hard drive space.

In addition to expanding the feature, Xbox has also grown its cloud-compatible game library. Over 100 titles are now ready for streaming by Game Pass Ultimate members, with recent additions like Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, LEGO Marvel Superheroes, Squirrel with a Gun, and Subnautica 2. Microsoft also confirmed that 19 more games are set to join the lineup soon, ensuring players have even more reasons to take advantage of the seamless streaming experience on their Xbox consoles.
