It appears like Samsung has paced up the development of its next major operating system, One UI 8, that will run Android 16 on top. Well, the latest build is said to feature some amazing functionalities as far as leaks until now are concerned; here’s all about One UI 8 that has happened so far!
All the Leaked One UI 8 Features in One Place
Galaxy AI-powered new image-to-video feature:
Well, Gemini is powering most of the AI features present in the Galaxy devices, a new AI feature that can convert users’ still images into videos via Google. However, it’s just a leak, and there is no clarity whether Samsung could bring it to the Galaxy devices with One UI 8.
New notification animations:
Samsung could bring some significant changes with One UI 8, where new notification-opening animations were spotted on a Galaxy S25 running an all-new build. At first, the notifications are supposed to open in a new way when tapping on the notifications bar, offering a more enhanced user experience.
At the same time, the security and privacy page UI could further get a more noticeable change, where it looks much cleaner and the toggles are neatly arranged after one another, suggesting a more interactive experience all in all.
Now brief to get a listening ability:
A new leak stated that One UI 8 will welcome an all-new capability of the Now Brief feature. Basically, it could bring a new Listen Brief feature, letting users listen to their briefings throughout the day without having to look at the screen or read them. The feature might further make users choose either Samsung’s or Google’s text-to-speech engine with play, pause, and stop buttons.
Bigger cover display for Galaxy Z Flip 7:
Previous assertions made it clear that One UI 8 is supposed to offer a welcome treat for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 models. It was reported that the latest build could bring a slightly larger cover display. Basically, this leak comes when the latest One UI 8 firmware was spotted running on a Flip 7 unit.
Private Album:
With One UI 8, the leaked build adds a private album feature to Samsung Gallery. This, basically, offers the ability to hide private images to enhance a user’s secure experience. It could resemble its functionality with the Secure Folder, but exclusively for photos and videos.
In addition, more previously leaked reports suggested that the upcoming One UI 8 build will fix Secure Folder’s privacy breach issues, a new Samsung Dex UI, Galaxy Buds controls, and more.
