One UI 8 Features:
Samsung’s One UI 8 integrates Google Gemini for a context-aware AI experience, allowing tasks to be performed automatically based on user behavior. The AI now offers suggestions, reminders, and shortcuts aligned with daily routines. Popular features introduced with the Galaxy S25 series, such as Generative Edits and Chat Assist, are being extended to older Samsung devices.
Additionally, the Now Bar and Now Brief have been enhanced to support live notifications from a wider range of apps. One UI 8 introduces an improved split-screen mode, similar to OnePlus’s Open Canvas, which allows apps to be partially minimized at the screen edge, freeing up space for primary apps and optimizing multitasking.
The update aims to unify Samsung’s device ecosystem under a single, AI-driven interface while extending advanced features previously limited to flagship models. Users are encouraged to check the Samsung Members app for device-specific timelines and instructions for updating.
