A closer look at One UI 8.5βs new Instant Brief widget styles
One UI 8.5 for the Samsung Galaxy S26 series makes it look better and easier to use. This One UI version arrives with several new features to provide a next-level experience. One of the new features is the Instant Brief widget, now available in four styles. These styles are inspired by a glass-like design, giving the screen a clean and modern look.
Through these four styles, Samsung aims to give users more choices with One UI 8.5. Some people like simple and clear designs, while others prefer something more stylish. Samsung has tried to offer both. These new widgets not only look good but also help users see important information quickly.
There are four styles of the Instant Brief widget. The first one is like nature glass, which has a soft green transparent background that blends with the wallpaper. It feels light and natural. Another is Frosted, which is bolder, with a stronger blur and deeper glass effect. It looks more premium and stands out on the screen.

The third one looks classic and solid, with a mostly solid light background, making it very easy to read. It is the best choice for people who want clear text, especially in bright light. The last one is a soft blend, a mix of both style and clarity. It has a soft color and slight transparency, so it looks smooth but is still easy to read.
These four styles make the Instant Brief widget more useful and more personal. Users can choose the one they like the most. In the future, One UI 9 may bring more widgets. Stay tuned for more information.
