ads we don't have any pop-up ads on our
1:15
website because this is our revenue
1:17
model and our strategy so we can avoid
1:19
having all those annoying ads check it
1:21
out in the pen comment description if
1:23
you're interested so we already know a
1:25
lot about 1 UI8 a lot of leaks have come
1:27
out there's leaked builds you can run
1:28
i've actually been wrestling with myself
1:30
internally about if I want to install it
1:32
on one of my other S25 Ultras i bought
1:34
an an international model to do it but
1:37
there is some risk and plus it's really
1:39
hard to downgrade and I've just been
1:40
busy and haven't done it yet um but
1:42
there are some changes coming we've got
1:44
more blur um they're changing the look
1:45
of certain apps but here's what we know
1:47
now that just came out first Samsung Dex
1:50
is getting an update it's going to come
1:52
in line with the new Android desktop
1:54
mode that Google is adding to Android 16
1:56
um some of these changes are substantial
1:59
um the design looks a lot different than
2:01
it did before the menus are looking a
2:03
lot different than they did before a lot
2:05
of things look great with the design you
2:06
guys see the new internet design there
2:08
that we discovered previously at Sammy
2:10
Guru um the headlining update modern
2:13
touch with more quick settings design
2:15
refresh search UI and app drawer
2:17
floating windows got a redesign looking
2:18
more like the new desktop windows like I
2:20
said in stock Android if you guys
2:22
haven't seen that Google is bringing a
2:24
new desktop mode to Android as a whole
2:27
kind of borrowing the idea of Dex for
2:30
the rest of Android and so that is
2:32
something that we can look forward to
2:34
with Dex getting a redesign in that same
2:36
sort of design language now if you have
2:39
Galaxy Buds you know that right now in 1
2:42
UI7 when you tap on the music player on
2:44
your lock screen with the now bar you
2:46
get a Buds controller but only if you
2:48
have the new Buds Buds 3 Pro and Buds 3
2:51
which doesn't really seem fair if you
2:52
have older Buds this should work as well
2:54
it's a software feature the Buds 2 and
2:56
Buds 2 Pro and Galaxy Buds FE will now
2:59
show up here as well in this widget
3:01
along with controls for the various
3:03
settings for those buds that are
3:04
relevant for that hardware which is very
3:07
exciting glad to see this trickle down
3:09
to other people 1 UI 8 continues to
3:12
bring more blur we've already seen a lot
3:14
of blur in the various apps that have
3:15
leaked out um now we know the native
3:17
screen recorder also gets a blurred
3:19
background in its dialogue looks
3:21
absolutely beautiful in my opinion
3:22
samsung is likely to tweak this not only
3:24
with the screen recorder screenshot
3:26
dialogue box but other app dialogue
3:28
boxes throughout the UI before we get to
3:30
the official 1 UI 8 beta which a lot of
3:33
people have asked me when the beta is
3:34
likely to come the official stable
3:36
launch of 1 UI 8 is going to come with
3:38
the new foldables in July fold 7 flip 7
3:41
uh so potentially late July after the
3:43
foldables roll out we might see a beta
3:45
on the S25 devices quick share gets
3:48
changes uh with 1 UI8 it we already know
3:51
that it has a brand new send and receive
3:53
tab where those are separated so you can
3:55
see files you've sent and received
3:56
separately um now it gets a header on
3:59
the send tab and a sleek slide animation
4:01
between them which looks really good
4:03
check out this animation i mean it's a
4:04
small detail but makes a big difference
4:06
in my opinion love it huge shout out
4:09
right there to Khaled over on X for
4:11
sharing that one um they're doing some
4:13
nice things i mean it's not going to be
4:15
as big of a change as 1 UI7 but given
4:17
the number of people who told me they're
4:18
upset with the massive overhaul and it's
4:20
hard to find things that might be good
4:22
so people can get used to 1 UI7 settle
4:24
in and they're not making so many huge
4:26
sweeping changes with 1 UI 8 now the
4:29
last one is really important and I'll
4:30
talk about this more in detail in just a
4:32
second secure folder now adapts
4:34
Android's private space API no longer
4:36
does it use the work profile to set up a
4:39
secure folder this is very important
4:41
because we discovered a vulnerability
4:43
and other outlets talked about it as
4:45
well where you could expose your private
4:48
information at gallery if someone
4:49
installed a work profile i actually
4:51
installed one on my Galaxy S25 Ultra
4:53
here to show you guys this and I'll link
4:55
the video below if you missed it there's
4:57
also another one uh vulnerability where
4:59
your secure folder could expose your
5:01
private photos uh using the automated
5:04
generated stories both of these should
5:06
be fixed by using the private space API
5:10
which also then of course you have this
5:11
new um option to hide your secure folder
5:14
which case then you won't get
5:16
notifications and things from it like
5:17
that so it should fix both of these bugs
5:20
so that's the big leak from dev of flops
5:22
from over on X which Josh rounded up but
5:25
there are a couple of other ones that I
5:27
wanted to talk about this is the one I
5:28
just talked about there was the security
5:30
flaw this one is the now bar its big
5:33
upgrade we'll plug in calls and do not
5:35
disturb so now we're going to get calls
5:37
and do not disturb mode on the now which
5:40
is a nice addition you see do not
5:42
disturb right there and then you're also
5:44
going to get information from your calls
5:46
on the now bar this one here is from top
5:48
racks 9 plus over on X so we're going to
5:51
get more information aggregated on the
5:53
now bar which I think a lot of people
5:54
are looking forward to i know I
5:56
definitely am so it seems like Samsung's
5:58
continuing to integrate a lot of things
6:01
in 1 UI7 with functionality that Google
6:03
is building into 1 UI uh or to Android
6:06
16 which will be what 1 UI 8 is based on
6:09
um this brings the new Google live
6:11
notifications API and that of course
6:14
will make it easier for the now bar to
6:16
pull live notifications so we could see
6:18
live notifications from potentially way
6:20
more third party apps which would be
6:22
great news now 1 UI 8 is not only coming
6:25
to watches I mean to phones but also to
6:28
watches samsung is going to skip 1 UI 7
6:31
for watches and go directly to 8
6:33
potentially bringing the watch and the
6:34
phone OS on the same version number we
6:37
had a leak with this which shows new
6:39
firmware with new watch sounds including
6:41
a new Over the Horizon if I can play
6:44
it these are some of the new sounds
6:47
see if we can hear the new There it is
6:49
the brand new Over the Horizon again
6:52
let's give credit here this is again
6:54
devops o dev of lpos I think i'm not
6:58
sure exactly how to pronounce it but as
7:00
a single word but that's his uh ex
7:02
username uh also some new icons are
7:04
coming to Galaxy uh watch on 1 UI 8 so
7:07
this could potentially launch with the
7:08
watch 8 and the watch 8 classic at the
7:11
July unpacked event so Samsung is making
7:14
a lot of progress while rolling out 1 UI
7:16
7 now to a wide variety of devices they
7:19
continue to work on 1 UI 8 and there's a
7:22
lot of really exciting stuff coming now
7:23
bar changes better overall design blur
7:27
added to the UI trying to see if there's
7:29
anything else I missed in our list but I
7:31
think that's mostly uh everything that
7:33
we've covered about 1 UI8 anyway I'm
7:36
curious what you guys think should I
7:37
install one of these leaked builds i'm
7:39
really tempted to do it on this
7:41
International S25 Ultra that's kind of
7:42
why I bought it i just haven't done it
7:44
yet i'm a little little scared i haven't
7:46
been doing that in a while be honest i
7:47
have not rooted or modded my phone in
7:49
probably 8 to 10 years i used to do it
7:51
all the time was very comfortable um but
7:53
if you guys want to see it let me know
7:54
i'll try to get that done a lot of
7:56
coverage this week coming later this
7:57

7:59
relaunching next week for pre-orders
