TL;DR

  • A leaked One UI 8.5 build on the Galaxy S25 Ultra shows Samsung’s big design refresh, which includes rounded corners, pill-shaped icons, and bottom bars.
  • Sammobile has showcased the update in a hands-on video, giving us a better look at features like the fully customizable quick settings panel, Direct Voicemail in the Phone app, and new tweaks in Gallery, My Files, and Camera.
  • More features are expected before launch, with a stable rollout most likely coming alongside the Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung’s next major software update — One UI 8.5 — is starting to take shape, and we can now see how it’s coming together thanks to a new hands-on video posted by folks over at Sammobile. While we’ve also leaked several upcoming One UI 8.5 features exclusively, like the new Privacy Display, NFC-based Quick Share, Automatic Call Screening, and more, and this hands-on doesn’t show any of them, it gives us our clearest look yet at some big UI changes Galaxy users can expect from the update when it arrives.
