Samsung One UI 8 Leak Suggests Galaxy AI's Now Brief Coming to Galaxy Z Flip 6

Samsung’s upcoming One UI 8 operating system is already creating buzz ahead of its official release. A new hands-on video of an early beta build running on the unreleased Galaxy Z Flip 6 suggests that Samsung’s AI-powered Now Brief feature, currently exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series, may soon expand to more devices.

Now Brief Powered by Galaxy AI Set to Expand

First introduced with the Galaxy S25 series, the Now Brief feature delivers a personalized, card-style summary of important daily information. It uses Galaxy AI to curate data such as:

• Health and wellness metrics

• Traffic conditions

• Travel alerts

• Event reminders

• News headlines

According to the leak by SamMobile, the feature is seen working on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 prototype, indicating a broader rollout across Samsung’s smartphone lineup with the arrival of One UI 8.

What the One UI 8 Hands-On Video Reveals

The leaked video highlights a few subtle but useful interface changes:

• Gallery app refinements for a cleaner, modern UI

• File Manager redesign for better accessibility

• Improved animations and smoother transitions throughout the UI

Although the video showcases limited new features, the inclusion of Now Brief stands out as the most significant functional upgrade.

Previously Hidden Code Now Activated

Interestingly, prior reports confirmed that One UI 7 contained dormant code for the Now Brief feature. While inaccessible at the time, One UI 8 could activate and fully integrate it across supported Galaxy devices, including the upcoming Z-series foldables.

One UI 8 Release Expectations

Samsung typically rolls out major One UI updates following the launch of its new Android skin around late summer or early fall. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 are expected to debut with Android 16-based One UI 8 during the next Galaxy Unpacked event, likely in July 2025.

Bottom Line

With One UI 8, Samsung appears to focus on evolutionary refinements rather than a complete overhaul—enhancing user experience through personalization and smart integration of Galaxy AI. As more leaks surface, further details about other new features are expected.
