What is the main focus of the One UI 8 update?

Based on current rumors and industry trends, the main focus of One UI 8 appears to be a significant leap in on-device AI capabilities (“Galaxy AI 2.0”) and a major overhaul of home and lock screen customization options.

Cool. Let’s shoehorn some AI in there and just fuck up my home screen again. I hate stability. I love it when my phone constantly shifts in my hands and never settles. I love waking up one morning to find that my device has updated itself and now nothings behaves as it did before.

I haven’t felt a significant advancement in years. It’s just shuffling UI elements for the sake of claiming you’re improving things.

I am less than enthused for this update. I dread it.

  Let’s not forget about the fun added UI elements that were added without removing the old redundant ones. Also I want my large clock/weather widget back please

  The upgrade to OneUI 7 was mostly about AI features as well but I’ve literally never used a single one of them on my S24.

In a matter of a week or two I upgraded from UI 5 to 6 to 7.

The move from 5 to 6 more than halved my battery life instantly.

In one go my phone went from lasting about a day and a half roughly, to needing to be charged by just after lunch time. Absolute disgrace.

So then I upgraded again with all the promises I’d read that it has improved performance and battery life and it’s dropped at least by another 15%.

My phone is lucky to make it to lunchtime now, thanks to these upgrades.

  Did you give it some days to finish processing in the background? That eats battery until it is done.

  OneUI has nothing to do with battery life. That’s Android side impact. After updates there are some necessary background processes that sometimes eat up some battery faster than usual. but the UI is just the pretty buttons and pictures. It changes the efficiency of battery use of the UI itself, but the overall management of power is handled by the system and that hat a greater impact on battery life.

“Imagine your phone automatically silencing itself when it detects you’re in a meeting based on your calendar, or suggesting a playlist when you connect your Galaxy Buds. Bixby is rumored to become more of a true personal assistant that anticipates your needs.”

I’m imagining it and it’s horrible. For this to be useful it would have to be so incredibly perfect. The frustration factor on this would be through the roof. Just give me a silence button on my calender that I can program if I want to. Even that is a little frivolous but it’s simple and reliable at least. When is someone going to just break and make a fast, small, simple, reliable phone that doesn’t get bogged down in crap?

  You know what actually works for this? A physical slider like my second smartphone had which switches between silent, vibrate and loud. That was the only time I actually switched away from vibrate because it was easy, and I could do it in my pocket without looking at the phone (especially nice in situations where looking at it might itself be rude)
