It seems that Samsung has accelerated the development of its next major operating system, One UI 8, which will run on Android 16. According to the latest leaks, the new build is expected to feature several exciting functionalities. Here’s a summary of everything that has been revealed about One UI 8 so far!

All the Leaked One UI 8 Features in One Place

Galaxy AI-Powered New Image-to-Video Feature:

While Gemini powers most of the AI features on Galaxy devices, a new AI-powered feature has been leaked, which can convert still images into videos using Google. Although this is just a rumor, it’s unclear whether Samsung will bring this feature to Galaxy devices with One UI 8.

New Notification Animations:

Samsung may introduce significant changes with One UI 8, including new notification animations, which were spotted on a Galaxy S25 running a new build. Initially, notifications are expected to open in a new way when tapping on the notifications bar, providing an enhanced user experience.

Additionally, the security and privacy page UI may undergo a noticeable change, with a cleaner design and neatly arranged toggles, resulting in a more interactive experience overall.

Now Brief to Get a Listening Ability:

A recent leak suggests that One UI 8 will introduce a new capability for the Now Brief feature. This new feature, called Listen Brief, will allow users to listen to their briefings throughout the day without having to look at the screen or read them. Users may also be able to choose between Samsung’s or Google’s text-to-speech engine, with play, pause, and stop buttons.

Bigger Cover Display for Galaxy Z Flip 7:

Previous reports indicate that One UI 8 may offer a welcome treat for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 models. According to a leak, the latest build may bring a slightly larger cover display. This leak comes after 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 feature allows users to hide private images, enhancing their secure experience. It may resemble the functionality of Secure Folder, but exclusively for photos and videos.

Furthermore, previous leaks suggest that the upcoming One UI 8 build will fix Secure Folder’s privacy breach issues, introduce a new Samsung Dex UI, Galaxy Buds controls, and more.
