Samsung's One UI 8.5 is in the works
Samsung is currently conducting internal testing for the One UI 8.5 on Galaxy S25 devices, bringing some smart new AI-powered notifications to the table.
This early version, called "YJH," comes bundled with the October 2025 update and is set to officially launch alongside the upcoming Galaxy S26.
The rollout follows closely after last month's One UI 8 release, showing Samsung isn't slowing down on updates.
AI-driven notification summaries
The big highlight is AI-driven notification summaries—now you can get quick recaps of long messages in English and Korean, and even tweak how it works in your app settings.
There's also a priority notifications feature that bumps important alerts to the top so you don't miss what matters most.
On top of that, icons are getting a fresh look with less of that chunky 3D vibe for a cleaner feel overall.
Public beta access should open up soon, so keep an eye out if you're into early tech previews!
