One UI 9.5 beta program’s launch seems to be around the corner, and the Galaxy S26 series will likely be first in line to get it. Ahead of the announcement, recent leaks are hinting at what Samsung has in store for users. It’ll bring some new features and UI design changes. Bixby is set to receive significant upgrades with One UI 9.5, and the latest leak reveals more functional home screen widgets.
Samsung is reportedly making Bixby widgets more functional with One UI 9.5
In One UI 9.5, Bixby will reportedly offer three widgets, matching One UI 9.0. However, two of the widgets, 2×2 and 4×2, will include a camera shortcut. This should let users snap a photo or use its visual search. Additionally, the keyboard icon in the older widget will be replaced with a text box.
Thanks to its larger area, the 4×2 widget also adds a shortcut to upload files from the device. This lets users ask questions from long documents, summarize context, analyze data, and perform other tasks AI assistants usually do. The screenshots shared show all three widgets in both light and dark modes.

Besides widgets, Bixby is reportedly gaining several major features and improvements with One UI 9.5. The biggest addition is Bixby Actions, an AI agent that can run complex routines in the background. It’ll let users schedule tasks to run daily or at specific intervals. It can also learn from your preferences over time and integrate with Samsung’s upcoming Memory app.
In addition to Bixby upgrades, One UI 9.5 will have minor yet notable updates. For one, the Samsung Keyboard will reportedly gain two new Galaxy AI tools: Shorten and Translate. It could bring subtle UI changes to core apps like Camera, Calendar, Samsung Notes, and Samsung Browser.
