Samsung has started working on One UI 8.5 for Galaxy S23 Ultra, which was confirmed through the software server’s listing. The update will bring plenty of new features to the device, and the first hands-on video has just arrived.

Folks over at SamMobile gained access to internal One UI 8.5 and installed the firmware on their Galaxy S23 Ultra. The outlet has come up with a video, revealing the first-ever hands-on look at the device with future software.

The video highlights several new features and some anticipated ones that are not included.

New features

Galaxy S23 series will gain access to various new features as part of the One UI 8.5 update. The software carries a customizable Quick Panel, stock apps with modern design, and a recreated Settings menu.

Samsung has enhanced the appearance of key aspects, including DeX and Camera. Camera Assistant’s “save to external storage” feature has been moved to camera settings. The Pro (Photo) and Pro Video modes bring a clean interface.

Interestingly, Single Take is supported, which dropped in the first public Beta build.

One UI 8.5 also brings a redesigned menu with a cleaner look. The UI no longer has subheadings, and the search icon has been relocated to the bottom. The updated Battery and Device Care page is also present on the S23 Ultra.

Samsung offers the new Photo Assist with a history function, letting users revert to previous edits. Since the build is unfinished, tools like editing with text prompts and image clips, and a Call Assistant feature aren’t working.

Missing features

Samsung has yet to deliver some key features to the Galaxy S23 series through One UI 8.5, such as Log Video in Camera, Health Assist, and Now Brief in Galaxy AI, Audio Eraser in Gallery, and AI-powered Weather features.
