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.

Leaked Samsung One UI 8 Build Hints at Early Design Tweaks, ‘Now Brief’ Feature Could Expand to Older Galaxy Models

Even as Samsung begins rolling out One UI 7 globally, work on its next major software update, One UI 8, is reportedly already underway. Although the Android 16-based operating system is still some time from an official launch, a recent leak has offered a first look at its early design and potential features. According to reports, Samsung appears to be making subtle visual changes to some of its core apps, including the File Manager and Gallery. Additionally, the company may be planning to bring an AI-driven feature, first introduced with the Galaxy S25 series, to older Galaxy devices.

The leak, shared by SmartPrix, revealed One UI 8 running on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 prototype. At first glance, the new OS strongly resembles One UI 7, suggesting that Samsung’s major visual redesigns were likely completed with the previous update. This indicates that One UI 8 may focus more on refining the user experience rather than dramatically overhauling the interface. The early build hints at an evolution rather than a revolution in Samsung’s software design strategy.

Among the minor but notable changes are tweaks to the File Manager and Gallery apps. The File Manager’s Categories tab now features a translucent background, lending it a sleeker and more modern look. A similar refresh can be seen in the Gallery app, where categories like Videos, Favourites, Recents, Locations, and Shared Albums also appear against a translucent backdrop. However, given that this is an early version of the OS, Samsung may introduce further refinements — or completely redesign certain elements — before the final release.

Perhaps the most exciting development is the potential arrival of the ‘Now Brief’ feature on a wider range of devices. Originally exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series, Now Brief utilizes Galaxy AI to summarize daily activities and device usage into an easy-to-read, card-style interface. When paired with wearables like the Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring, it can even incorporate health and fitness metrics. If the leaks are accurate, this feature could soon make its way to more users, enhancing the everyday experience across Samsung’s device ecosystem.
