A sneak peek at Samsung’s One UI 8.5 upgrade, which is expected to launch with the Galaxy S26 series, was recently leaked. Along with a new design that incorporates translucent elements, the new program features several strong AI-powered capabilities, including real-time translation and a smart clipboard.
Touch Assistant is one of the newly unveiled One UI 8.5 AI capabilities. By digesting the text displayed on your screen, this one aims to enhance your reading experience. Additionally, there is a new Smart Clipboard that is capable of far more than simply copying and pasting; with just a single tap, it can automatically recommend tasks like text correction, summarisation, and translation.
Social Composer claims to automatically create reviews and posts for social media users, making it simpler than ever to express your opinions online. Lastly, a potent new technology that offers real-time translation for presentations and meetings is Meeting Assist. For business professionals, this functionality might be pretty beneficial.
Additionally, One UI 8.5’s new design features were alluded to in a prior leak. It is said that floating buttons with translucent backgrounds are part of the new design. This design aesthetic is somewhat reminiscent to iOS’s “Liquid Glass” design language. But Samsung seems to be giving these components its own distinct “frosted glass” user interface design. This gives it a sleek, contemporary look.
