One UI 8.5 Leaks: Samsung’s Next Update Brings ‘3D’ Icons, Revamped Interface
Samsung’s highly anticipated One UI 8.5 update for Galaxy devices continues to be the subject of significant leaks, providing an early look at its upcoming visual enhancements. Among the latest discoveries is a distinctive “3D” effect for homescreen icons, which subtly appear to pop out from the display, achieved through what appears to be an advanced drop shadow.
Beyond the icon changes, recent builds reveal several other prominent design updates. Users can anticipate redesigned applications, including a bolder aesthetic for Digital Wellbeing, and new functionalities such as “partial screen” support for screen recording. The Gallery app is set to feature a sleek gradient, while the overall interface is embracing more “Liquid Glass” inspired elements, reminiscent of floating UI components.
Further leaks also point to new family sharing capabilities and the inclusion of a “Private display” feature, which is anticipated to debut with the Galaxy S26 series. One UI 8.5 itself is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S26 series early next year, making these ongoing leaks crucial for understanding Samsung’s next major software evolution.
