Addition to Now Bar: Now Bar was first introduced with OneUI 7 in January; now Samsung is reportedly upgrading its capabilities by adding expanded app support.

Upgrades to split-screen mode: Samsung is expected to bring a 90:10 split view similar to Open Canvas on OnePlus devices. This split view mode will enable users to seamlessly multitask without switching between apps. This will also give users the control to select which app should have 90% of the screen, and which app should take the 10%, based on their tasks.

There's not much time before Prime Day 2025 officially begins, but there are already some great deals out there. For instance, if you're looking for a new phone, then I would highly recommend checking out this reduced price for the Samsung Galaxy S25. If you head to Amazon right now, you can pick up the Navy 128GB Galaxy S25 for 15% off, bringing the phone down to $679. At the time of writing, this is the best price we've seen for the Galaxy S25, exceeding the prior best price of $699. That makes this a great time to grab one of the best flagship phones on the market.

Don't just take my word for it, as our Galaxy S25 review highlights some of the advantages and improvements Samsung introduced with its latest line of phones. Now, in the interest of fairness, I will admit that there isn't a huge difference in hardware between the Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S24. You're getting the same 6.2-inch AMOLED screen with the same trio of cameras, including a 50MP main lens, 12MP Ultrawide and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. However, the Samsung Galaxy S25 features the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite, which provides a notable performance boost. Not only does the chip help to get the most out of the 4,000 mAh battery, but it also powers the host of Galaxy AI features that were introduced as part of One UI 7.

Samsung to introduce unified security and privacy hub with One UI 8: Report
Samsung appears to be working on a new privacy and security feature called 'Alert Center', which could debut in its upcoming One UI 8 software update. As reported by Android Authority, this centralised hub is designed to help users manage sensitive app permissions and device safety alerts more effectively, all in one place. Unlike existing tools scattered across Android settings, such as the Privacy Dashboard or Google Play Protect, Samsung's Alert Center will reportedly combine both privacy and security notifications in a streamlined and user-friendly interface. According to Android Authority, the feature was discovered in an internal One UI 8 build that revealed multiple code strings detailing its functionality. Privacy alerts with app-level detail As per Android Authority's analysis, Alert Center will inform users when apps access sensitive information — like location, microphone, camera, contacts, or text messages — especially if those permissions are used excessively or in the background. The system will reportedly name specific apps in its warnings, such as 'XYZ accessed your camera' or 'ABC accessed your text messages in the background.' It will also prompt users to review apps they've previously marked as 'trusted,' in case those apps request additional permissions over time. Security alerts for real-world threats Beyond privacy, Alert Center is also expected to function as an advanced security monitor. Android Authority notes that it may warn users about potential threats like: Detection of malware through Google Play Protect or Samsung's App Protection Outdated security patches or system software Suspicious activity in Google or Samsung accounts Missing biometric protections (e.g., fingerprint or face unlock not set up) Disabled location tracking, which can affect features like Find My Mobile Several alerts may come with actionable buttons, such as 'Go to Software Update' or 'Go to App Protection,' making it easier for users to fix issues immediately without navigating complex settings. Simplifying digital safety According to Android Authority, Samsung's Alert Center could offer a more proactive and consolidated approach than Google's own Android tools. While much of this information is already available across Android settings, Alert Center's goal appears to be about making privacy and security easier to understand and manage for the everyday smartphone user. At the moment, it's unclear when Samsung will officially roll out this feature, or which Galaxy devices will support it first. Since it was discovered in a pre-release build of One UI 8, we can expect more concrete details once Samsung begins beta testing the update publicly. Notably, One UI 7 update was released recently in April. Samsung One UI 7 update: Features The One UI 7 update brought a cleaner home screen design and refreshed One UI widgets, creating a more unified visual experience. The Galaxy AI features introduced in this update include: Now Bar: One UI 7 added live updates to the lock screen. With a quick swipe, users can view essential info—like workout stats or Galaxy Buds playback—without unlocking their device. AI Select: While watching a video, users can access the Edge Panel, tap the 'AI Select' icon, and instantly save a section as a GIF. Writing Assist: This tool makes it easy to summarise or auto-format selected text for better readability and quicker editing. Drawing Assist: According to Samsung, this feature helps turn ideas into visuals using a mix of inputs, such as sketches, images, or written prompts. Audio Eraser: This lets users isolate specific sounds and remove background noise from videos, making professional-style editing easier for everyday users.
