One UI 8 Beta now live: Galaxy S25 users get early access to Samsung's Android 16 update
Samsung has started early access for its new software update, One UI 8. The beta version is now available for Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra users in the UK, Germany, South Korea, and the US. The full rollout will begin later this summer, starting with Samsung's new foldable phones. One UI 8 is built on Android 16 and has been developed with help from Google. The update brings new AI tools that work across different types of Galaxy devices, including phones and foldables. It focuses on making everyday tasks easier by using AI that can understand what the user is doing and offer help in real-time. One UI 8 includes several features powered by AI. The software can understand what's on your screen—like a video or document—and respond in a way that fits the situation. It also learns from your daily habits to give suggestions, reminders, or shortcuts that match your routine. Some new features include: Now Bar and Now Brief : These tools show updates and suggestions based on what you're doing or what you might need during the day. and : These tools show updates and suggestions based on what you're doing or what you might need during the day.

The update also uses Samsung Knox Vault, a security system that stores important data separately to keep it safe from hackers or physical access. One UI 8 also adds new tools meant to make everyday use simpler: Auracast : A feature that lets you share audio with others by scanning a QR code.

Samsung bets big on AI: Gemini Assistant rolls out to Watch6 and Buds3
Samsung's Galaxy ecosystem is set for a major intelligence boost this winter as the tech giant announces the arrival of its Gemini AI assistant to the Galaxy Watch6 series and subsequent models. Marking its first integration into Samsung's wearable line-up, the Gemini app promises to make everyday tasks smarter and more effortless for users. The new update, which extends Gemini's AI features beyond smartphones, aims to offer a more unified and intuitive experience across the Galaxy platform. Users will soon be able to harness powerful AI functionalities directly from their wrists and ears, transforming the way they interact with their devices. With Gemini on the Galaxy Watch, tasks that typically require your smartphone can now be handled with simple voice commands. Whether you are mid-workout or on the move, you will be able to locate important emails or send summaries via text without pausing what you are doing. For instance, users can ask, 'Where's the latest email about yesterday's board meeting?' and promptly instruct Gemini to forward a brief summary to their team. The hands-free capability is particularly useful in situations where using a phone is inconvenient. Out running errands with your hands full? Simply activate Gemini on your watch and ask for directions to the nearest café—no tapping or scrolling required. The update also enhances the role of the upcoming Galaxy Buds3 series in Samsung's AI ecosystem. Gemini can be launched via voice commands or touch gestures like pinch-and-hold, enabling users to interact fluidly with their Galaxy smartphone through the Buds. In a similar move, Apple might surprise fans with a new technology that blends wearable convenience with advanced visual intelligence. According to a recent Bloomberg report that came earlier this week, the tech giant is developing updated versions of the AirPods and Apple Watch that feature built-in cameras, with a potential launch expected around 2027.

Samsung's Galaxy Watches are getting Google Gemini AI
Samsung has proudly unveiled that Google Gemini is coming to its Galaxy Watches. Activating Gemini will also be "smoother than ever" when you have a pair of Galaxy Buds3 or Buds3 Pro. Gemini on your Galaxy Watch provides hands-free assistance using natural voice commands. You can ask it to do things like remember stuff for you, summarize your incoming emails, and more across multiple apps. With the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro, you can use your voice or pinch and hold to activate Gemini on the earbuds and "smoothly interact with your Galaxy smartphone". Samsung unfortunately hasn't revealed a rollout timeline for this, but it's safe to assume it's coming soon. It's not very surprising, since Google is currently working on replacing Google Assistant with Gemini everywhere, and that's just what this will be - where before you had Google Assistant on your smartwatch or earbuds, you'll now get Gemini with its enhanced abilities.

Samsung will reportedly go with 'Galaxy Buds Core' for its next Buds FE
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A Nemko Platform listing has reportedly picked up Samsung's next FE series earbuds, which will reportedly go by the "Galaxy Buds Core." Little information is known about them, other than the inclusion of a 500mAh battery charging case and 200mAh batteries for the buds. The Galaxy Buds 3 series launched last summer with a radical design shift that makes them feel more like Apple's AirPods. Samsung's next FE earbuds are supposedly on the way, and with a few changes beyond their name. A discovery by 91Mobiles via the Nemko Platform database suggests that a device with model number SM-R410 is the next Galaxy Buds FE (via Android Authority). Interestingly, the listing states the device will be called the "Galaxy Buds Core," which echoes a previous Samsung FCC listing found by the publication. According to Nemko, the earbuds' charging case was found with model number "EP-QR410." The listing suggests the case could provide a 500mAh battery for charging bursts while on the go. Moreover, the earbuds themselves could pack a 200mAh battery for music, calls, and more. Other listed information isn't too surprising, but it states the buds will carry Bluetooth connectivity, as usual. The publication reiterates its FCC findings, adding the device is expected to see Bluetooth 5.0 Plus support, as well as "dual-band Wi-Fi, up to 5.8GHz." In 2023, Samsung launched several devices under its Galaxy FE umbrella, and one of those products was the Galaxy Buds FE. These earbuds were based on the Galaxy Buds, but were seen more as a successor. The Buds FE offer immersive audio quality, three mics on each bud, Active Noise Cancellation, and Ambient Sound. Additionally, Samsung outfitted the device with 8.5 hours of playback, which jumped to 30 hours if you had your case on hand. This is where things get interesting because the Galaxy Buds FE featured an "ergonomic" design like the Galaxy Buds. This was produced via its bulbous, wing-tip design. If Samsung is truly looking at a return to the Galaxy Buds FE, and calling it the "Galaxy Buds Core," we might have an idea about its design. Typically, Samsung's FE devices play off the design of the flagship version, and we have the Galaxy Buds 3 series to look at. Those offered a more radical design change, looking more like Apple AirPods with a long stem. The company said the change "enables a more intuitive physical experience by allowing you to control the device by simply pinching or swiping up or down on the blade" for controls. However, there's also a chance Samsung will resurrect that old wing-tip design to differentiate the "Galaxy Buds Core" from its flagship models.
