What is One UI 8 and why does it mark a change for Galaxy?

The new version of the interface aims to improve user productivity and comfort. It is designed to simplify daily routines through smart features.

It features a system that adapts to each user and learns from their habits to offer contextual and personalized responses.

Integrated AI: smart suggestions and total personalization

Thanks to collaboration with Google, this version combines the power of Android 16 with proactive artificial intelligence.

The new multimodal agent enables more natural communication with the phone, recognizing text, voice, and images simultaneously.

It also includes features such as "Now bar" and "Now brief", which display relevant information and suggestions caused by AI.

Privacy first: this is how One UI 8 protects your data

Data security is also key. Samsung incorporates Knox Vault, a system that isolates sensitive information to prevent unauthorized access.

The user will be able to choose whether AI processes the data directly on the device, without sending it to the cloud.
