While Samsung’s current One UI 8 software rollout continues globally, the next major software release is already taking shape. The One UI 8.5 is going to be more than just a visual upgrade, as recent code strings found within internal builds suggest Samsung might introduce a new “Network Battery Saver” feature with it.
Samsung is testing Network Battery Saver with One UI 8.5
According to early reports, the upcoming One UI 8.5 will be based on Android 16 QPR2. While it may not bring major internal changes, it’s shaping up to serve as a refinement to the existing software. The key focus of the upcoming software is said to be stability and AI integration. Improved privacy protection, AI-generated notification summaries, and smarter background optimizations are among the rumored additions.
However, the biggest highlight of the One UI 8.5 appears to be a new feature called the Network Battery Saver. It was recently spotted in leaked system strings by developers analyzing test builds. The feature is said to intelligently manage the device’s network so that the system reduces performance drain whenever it detects inactivity.
Personal data intelligence will be the core of this new feature
The code also mentions that the feature will require the “Personal Data Intelligence” option to be enabled. It’s a Samsung on-device AI tool that studies user patterns to make predictions without relying on external servers. Based on the discovered string, it’s clear that this new feature will limit network power usage when the phone is unlikely to be used, such as during nighttime.
Personal Data Intelligence (also referred to as Personal Data Engine) will serve as the core of this new feature. It will send the analyzed data to the system to decide when to reduce network power usage. Anyway, do keep in mind that this string discovery doesn’t necessarily mean that the feature will make its way to the stable version.
