Samsung has begun the global rollout of its One UI 8.5 operating system update, built on Android 16. The update brings a refreshed design with new customization options and AI-powered features like enhanced Photo Assist and Audio Eraser. However, access to the most advanced AI tools is limited to newer Galaxy S and foldable phones released after 2024, while older models like the S23 series will receive a less feature-rich version, primarily focusing on an improved Bixby powered by Perplexity.
