Samsung One UI 8 Update: Features
The One UI 8 update takes the help of Google Gemini to introduce context-aware AI, reducing the need to switch apps by automatically performing tasks based on user activity. It also learns from daily habits to provide smart suggestions, reminders, and shortcuts tailored to routines.

Samsung is extending AI features first seen on the Galaxy S25 series, such as Generative Edits and Chat Assist, to older devices as well. The Now Bar and Now Brief have also been upgraded to support live notifications from a wider range of apps. A redesigned split screen, similar to Open Canvas on OnePlus devices, offers more flexibility than the traditional 50:50 layout by letting users drag one app to the edge, minimizing it while giving more space to the primary app.
The update also delivers personalized daily updates like traffic alerts, reminders, Samsung Moments, along with music and video picks and health insights from Galaxy Watch. For devices not yet on the list, One UI 8 is expected to roll out in December or early next year.
