Samsung’s One UI 8.5 Beta is still fresh on the Galaxy S25 series, yet attention is already drifting to One UI 9 user interface. That’s the nature of this ecosystem; the moment one beta stabilizes, whispers about the next major version begin.

Fresh images shared by TarunVats suggest One UI 9, which is expected to run on Android 17, could further improve the One UI 8.5 user interface.

The leaked Quick Share interface shows a more compact floating bar at the bottom. The tabs appear rounder, tighter, and visually more integrated with the overall layout. It is a small tweak, but it looks more refined than ever.

The bar does not just float; it almost blends into the content layer, creating a subtle sense of depth. A slightly slimmer, more rounded bottom bar frees up vertical real estate. It also adds a level of sophistication that feels closer to Samsung’s design.

That said, this is reportedly an early internal build. Samsung is known to pivot hard based on beta feedback. Features get toned down, shapes get flattened and animations get simplified.

The latest One UI 8.5 Beta introduced a subtle but meaningful visual shift. In a major design shift, the company has replaced the old rectangular bottom bars from One UI 8.0 with floating, pill-shaped tabs.

Samsung could double down on the rounded aesthetic. Or it could partially revert if usability concerns pop up. One UI 9 is widely expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 in the second half of the year.
