One UI 8.5 is being prepared, a Samsung update following One UI 8 based on Android 16. It is considered a significant interim update, primarily intended to overhaul the user interface and make menus and functions more modern and clearer. Initial leaks already reveal details about the planned adjustments.
Samsung Update: The Focus
According to Android Authority, the upcoming Samsung update is centered around improving quick settings. At the heart of it all is a new level of customization, allowing users to resize individual tiles and arrange them freely within an invisible grid. Additionally, brightness and volume controls can now be displayed as vertical bars, offering enhanced clarity and improved usability.
The update will also remove the previous restriction of arranging icons within fixed containers. This change allows users to prominently position essential functions while freely moving other elements around. With this added flexibility, you can customize your screen to better suit your needs and access the most important tools more efficiently.

How Things Could Proceed in the Future
The design of the change is partly inspired by Apple’s Liquid Glass UI, but it emphasizes more visibility rather than transparency. The company is focusing on a modern and clear aesthetic that simultaneously facilitates use on large displays.
The Samsung update is not yet officially available, but leaks already suggest that One UI 8.5 is among the biggest visual overhauls in several generations. The quick access panel, in particular, could become significantly more flexible, making the daily lives of Android users simpler and more personalized.
