While Samsung has yet to widely release One UI 8.5, work on One UI 9 appears to be progressing in parallel. A leak has surfaced online hinting at a new software feature for the upcoming custom interface based on Android 17. 

 

One UI 8.5 is currently in beta testing and is available for the Galaxy S25 series. The stable version is expected to debut with the Galaxy S26 series and be rolled out later to compatible devices. Now, a new leak has emerged regarding the next major update: One UI 9.

According to a report by Sami Guru, leaked builds of One UI 9 indicate new additions to Samsung Internet Browser. The browser reportedly features a new, integrated search bar with a floating design located near the bottom of the screen. It includes options such as Search, AI Access, Recent Tabs, and a menu.

A notable leaked feature is Ask AI, which allows users to ask questions about the currently open webpage without having to manually copy text into the chat interface. The source suggests that the feature analyzes the page content as well as browsing history to provide personalized answers to user queries. It also gives users the option to store conversations for up to six months or not store them after the current session. 

 

Currently, there is no concrete release date for the One UI 9. However, it may launch alongside the successors to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, currently available for $1,649 on Amazon, and the Z Flip 7, both expected to be released in September. In separate news, the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 have received regulatory approval, suggesting an imminent launch.
