Samsung Internet is a quite popular mobile browser for both Galaxy and non-Galaxy phone users. It’s praised for its clean and minimal design. Now, the Korean tech giant is reportedly preparing a major browser upgrade. A recent report claims One UI 9.5 could bring a proper desktop mode to its browser for Galaxy phones.
Samsung Internet may finally get a desktop mode with the upcoming One UI 9.5
According to a report by SammyGuru, Samsung could finally add a functional desktop mode to its Internet browser for Galaxy phones. The following change was spotted in an early testing build. Unlike the existing option to load desktop versions of websites, the new interface appears to change how Samsung Internet itself works in DeX. Switching to the desktop mode will change its layout to better suit a large screen.
Attached screenshots suggest the browser could also get a sidebar, similar to one found in Samsung Browser for Windows. Moreover, there will be a dedicated Galaxy AI panel alongside the webpage. The panel will house tools such as Summarize, Translate, Read highlights aloud, and Ask anything. The reference also reveals web pages running side-by-side. It should make it easier to browse and work with multiple pages at once.
Users can finally enjoy a proper desktop environment
Over the past year, Samsung has expanded the Internet browser to more platforms. It recently launched a dedicated Samsung Internet for Windows. The browser also got many new refinements and features, such as smart shopping integrations.
However, the experience on DeX has remained fairly basic. Users have no choice but to deal with a stretched mobile interface or switch to a browser that is more optimized for desktop screens. Thankfully, the company seems to be fixing the following problem. Regardless, do keep in mind that One UI 9.5 is currently in internal testing, and Samsung has not officially confirmed these browser changes.
