One UI 8 (from Samsung) Featres

Here are some of the key features in One UI 8 (from Samsung) — useful if you’re wondering what’s new with this update.

1. Multimodal AI & smarter suggestions

One UI 8 introduces improved AI features — for example: Gemini Live lets you get help from your device in real-time (what you’re seeing or watching) without jumping between apps.
The update adapts suggestions based on your context: your routines, health data (from a watch), reminders, media preferences, etc.
For example, a feature called Circle to Search (with Google Lens-like use) allows you to circle something on screen (e.g., in a game) and get relevant info + translation.

2. Enhanced security & privacy

A new architecture called KEEP (Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection) ensures each app has its own encrypted storage environment, limiting cross-app access to sensitive data.
Knox Matrix can sign your device out of your Samsung Account if serious risk is detected (e.g., tampering) and send alerts across connected Galaxy devices.
Improved Wi-Fi security: a “Secure Wi-Fi” feature with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to protect your privacy on public networks.

3. UI & device-form-factor optimisations

One UI 8 is built to adapt better across phones, tablets and foldables: e.g., for large screens, you get improved multitasking (drag/drop of AI-generated content, split/floating windows).
On devices like foldables, there are special enhancements (e.g., cover display improvements) for the unique form-factor.
Navigation improvements: e.g., “Back Swipe Preview” (when you swipe to go back, it shows a preview of the previous window) and refreshed Quick Panel layout.

4. App & system enhancements

Reminder app: redesigned with categories, templates, easier voice input and drag-drop scheduling.
Improved file sharing: Quick Share gets a refined interface (Send / Receive tabs) for easier sharing.
Accessibility & communication: New features like real-time call captions, real-time text (RTT) for calls, translation tools.
Creative & media tools: For example, an “Audio Eraser” that can remove background noise in videos with a single tap.

Roll-out: One UI 8 started with the Galaxy S25 series and will expand to S24, Z Fold6, Z Flip6, etc.
Device-specific: Some features may only be active on certain models (especially foldables / high end) due to hardware requirements.
Some user feedback mentions minor bugs or design changes people find less optimal (e.g., widget sizing, customisability) based on early installs.
