Leaked One UI 8.5 Build Shows Redesigned Bixby Overlay Resembling Gemini

Galaxy flagships now default to Gemini, raising questions about Bixby’s next chapter.

Samsung One UI 8.5 to revamp Bixby interface

Overview

  • New images reported by SamMobile show a refreshed Bixby pop-up in One UI 8.5 with matching dark and light themes.
  • The on-screen design mirrors broader One UI 8.5 visual changes and looks similar to Google Gemini’s overlay.
  • The leaks do not confirm performance or feature upgrades for Bixby, with only a prior report hinting at deeper Modes and Routines integration.
  • Samsung switched the Galaxy S25 series to Gemini as the default assistant, which is closely tied to core apps like Calendar, Reminders, and Notes.
  • A One UI 8.5 beta could arrive by late November according to an unconfirmed leak, with a full release expected to ship alongside the Galaxy S26 early next year.
