While it's possible there will be more to the final One UI 8 update, Samsung's decision to roll out the beta widely probably means this is very close to finished. Given the disappointing state of Galaxy AI at the S25's launch, it's troubling there's not more to care about in the Android 16 update so far.

Perplexity may become the default on Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series. It’s rumored the two companies are nearing a partnership for many different tools.

Samsung is reportedly in talks with Perplexity AI to integrate its AI assistant and search features into Galaxy devices, potentially replacing Gemini and enhancing Bixby.
