One UI 8 Leak Hints at Redesigned Reminder App with Fresh UI Features

/in /tarafından

Samsung is reportedly making strides on One UI 8, its upcoming Android skin based on Android 16. As anticipation builds, early leaks suggest that the update will bring not only under-the-hood improvements but also refreshed system apps. Among these, the built-in Reminder app is expected to receive a notable overhaul. According to recent reports, One UI 8 could introduce a redesigned user interface for the app, aimed at improving usability and accessibility.

The tip comes from reliable source @theordysm, who shared early insights into the app’s changes. In One UI 8, the Reminder app is said to feature a brand-new home screen layout. Rather than tucking away important categories like “Today,” “Scheduled,” “Important,” “Place,” “No Alert,” and “Completed” within a side menu—as is currently done in One UI 7—these options will reportedly be visible directly on the main interface. This redesign seems to prioritize faster access to key reminder categories, making the app more intuitive for users.

Additional subtle but functional UI changes have also been spotted. The “Add Reminder” text field now features the “+” icon inside the field itself, aligned to the left. Meanwhile, a new microphone icon has been added to the right of the field, streamlining the interface for users who prefer voice input. Previously, both icons were positioned outside the text box, requiring more interaction to create a reminder. These updates suggest a focus on minimizing steps and maximizing convenience in everyday use.

It’s important to note, however, that these changes have been identified in an early development build of One UI 8. As with any pre-release software, features and layouts may be refined or removed altogether before the final version rolls out. Still, the early glimpse into Samsung’s design direction points toward a cleaner, more efficient user experience—especially for those who rely on the Reminder app for task management.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE Reappears on Geekbench Featuring New Processor Variant

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip FE continues to attract attention as it nears its anticipated launch later this year, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7. While previous leaks about the device have been somewhat inconsistent, particularly regarding the chipset, a fresh Geekbench listing has surfaced that could shed more light on what to expect. Notably, this new benchmark reveals different chipset details compared to earlier rumors.

The latest Geekbench entry for the Galaxy Z Flip FE, bearing the model number SM-F766U, highlights a ten-core processor with a motherboard code-named ‘s5e9955’. This CPU features a 1+2+5+2 core configuration, with the prime core clocked at 3.30GHz, two cores running at 2.75GHz, five at 2.36GHz, and two efficiency cores at 1.80GHz. These specifications strongly align with the Exynos 2500 chipset, suggesting Samsung may be opting for this newer Exynos processor in this foldable.

According to the benchmark results, the device runs Android 16 and comes equipped with 12GB of RAM. It scored 2,012 points in single-core tests and 7,563 points in multi-core tests, reflecting a decent performance for a mid-range foldable. Previously, the Galaxy Z Flip FE had appeared with the Exynos 2400 chipset or rumors suggested it might come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This new listing could signal a shift in Samsung’s plans or indicate multiple chipset variants.

Interestingly, this would mark the first time Samsung uses an Exynos processor in a foldable phone, if the information proves accurate. Earlier this month, a different Geekbench listing showed the Flip FE (model SM-F761N) running on the Exynos 2400 with 8GB of RAM, also on Android 16. The presence of multiple listings hints at possible regional variants or evolving development for the device ahead of its official unveiling.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Core Rumored to Feature Bigger Battery Compared to Galaxy Buds FE

Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy Buds Core as the next iteration following the Galaxy Buds FE, which debuted in October 2023 across select markets. Recently, the Galaxy Buds Core appeared on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, signaling an imminent launch in India. Additionally, support pages for the earbuds have gone live in several regions, hinting that the official announcement is not far off. New leaks have also revealed that the Galaxy Buds Core and their charging case might feature larger batteries compared to their predecessors.

According to a tip shared by X user Anthony (@TheGalox_), the Galaxy Buds Core could house a 500mAh battery in the charging case, while each earbud might come equipped with a 100mAh cell. This would be a significant upgrade from the Galaxy Buds FE, which contained 60mAh batteries in each earbud and a 479mAh battery in the charging case. This increase in battery capacity suggests a notable improvement in playback and usage times.

The Galaxy Buds FE currently offer a total battery life of up to 21 hours, including charging case usage, with active noise cancellation (ANC) enabled lasting for up to 13 hours. With the larger batteries rumored for the Galaxy Buds Core, users can likely expect longer listening sessions, potentially making these earbuds more appealing for extended use. This could especially benefit those who prioritize battery life alongside premium sound quality and features.

Reports also suggest that the Galaxy Buds Core support pages have already appeared in multiple countries, including India, the UAE, Russia, and Turkey, indicating a global rollout is planned. Industry insiders anticipate that Samsung will unveil these earbuds during the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip FE foldable phone. This launch could mark a strong push by Samsung into the mid-range TWS segment with improved battery life and advanced features.
