Bixby is getting at least a visual refresh on One UI 8.5.
Samsung has been focusing on AI features and third-party voice assistants such as Google Gemini, but the company hasn’t completely forgotten its own Bixby. Even after switching to Gemini as the default option for voice interactions on new Galaxy devices, Samsung continues to update Bixby, and One UI 8.5 may bring more improvements.
Bixby may be part of the various visual changes to One UI 8.5 and get its own redesign. Images from a leaked internal build of the software update reveal a new pop-up bar for Samsung’s voice assistant. The images include the overlay in both light and dark mode.
The aesthetic of the leaked pop-up aligns with earlier leaks of the potential redesign of One UI 8.5. It is also similar to the Gemini overlay, though it uses different accent colors.
Is Bixby going to be better?
We know very little about Samsung’s plans for Bixby on One UI 8.
