Overview

  • Beta builds show dynamic weather animations that overlay the lock screen to reflect current conditions such as rain or snow.
  • Effects use AI and depth information so animations flow behind people and objects, echoing Google's Live Effects approach on newer Pixels.
  • The feature appears to evolve Samsung's earlier Photo Ambient Wallpaper experiment into live, condition-based visuals.
  • Firmware tied to One UI 8.5 has surfaced on test servers for Galaxy M35, A15 4G, A16 4G and A07 4G across regions including Europe, India, Turkey, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand.
  • Additional tweaks reported in testing include usable Edge Panels in landscape, a Camera Assistant option to hide status indicators and a new lock-screen color gradient, with final rollout timing still unconfirmed and expected near the Galaxy S26 launch according to reports.
