Samsung to launch One UI 8 based on Android 16 in July 2025 - Sammy Fans (2025)

Samsung‘s One UI 7 enhanced the Internet Browser app with a revamped icon and new features. However, it seems this wasn’t enough, as Samsung is reportedly preparing massive interface changes with One UI 8.

Samsung Internet Browser is currently testing a major UI overhaul, likely arriving with the One UI 8 update. The redesign features dynamic colors, blur effects, and a refreshed layout across the home screen, icon customization, and menu interface.

Additionally, there are changes to the URL bar, wallpaper background, and menu options. Inspired by One UI 8’s aesthetic, Samsung Internet gives a modern and elegant look.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in the Samsung Internet Browser with One UI 8, compared to One UI 7. Notably, these changes are based on a testing One UI 8 version of the app recently spotted and have not yet been officially confirmed by Samsung.

Menu on Webpage

Samsung Internet Browser’s Menu UI on webpage in One UI 8 looks much cleaner and easier to use compared to One UI 7.

In One UI 8, the menu is smaller and shows only the most important options at the bottom of the screen, making it faster to find what you need. In One UI 7, the menu displayed a lot more options at once, which could feel a bit crowded and confusing.

Moreover, there are some highlighted blue-labeled icons for important options in the first row of the menu. You can swipe to see more options. Additionally, you can see a preview of the webpage at the top of the menu, along with the share button.

Home Layout

The Home layout of the Samsung Internet Browser app in One UI 8 features a search bar with the text “Search or enter URL,” similar to One UI 7, but its placement has changed. In One UI 8, it is no longer at the very top but is positioned about one-quarter of the way down the screen. The search bar now has a pill-shaped design.

Below it, there are quick access icons such as Google, Galaxy Shop, and more, similar to One UI 7. At the bottom, a “Privacy” section displays the message: “Protected you from 1 tracking attempt this week.” The background now features a wallpaper instead of the previous plain light gray.

One UI 8 has removed the “For You” section that used to appear below the quick access icons. This section previously included tabs like Videos, News, and others. However, there is still an option to filter content at the top right. One UI 8 enhances the layout with a cleaner look while maintaining core elements like the search bar, quick access icons, and the privacy section on the home interface of the app.

Menu UI on Home

In the Samsung Internet Browser’s menu on the home screen, One UI 8 introduces a cleaner and more minimalistic design compared to One UI 7, similar to the menu on webpages. The background in One UI 8 is slightly blurred and transparent, blending nicely with the home wallpaper and giving the interface a lighter, more modern feel.

Customize Menu

In One UI 8, the customize menu looks much cleaner and more organized. The buttons are divided into three clear sections – Menu, Toolbar, and Available buttons. It’s easy to see where everything is and move buttons around by just dragging them. There’s also a small preview at the bottom that shows what your toolbar will look like.

In One UI 7, all the buttons are placed together in one big area. The design in One UI 8 is simpler, with bigger icons and more space between them.

In the upcoming One UI 8, you can expect these amazing UI changes on the Samsung Internet Browser app.
