Samsung’s Two-Step UI: Why 8.5 and 9 coexist on Galaxy phones

Samsung’s Two-Step UI: Why 8.5 and 9 coexist on Galaxy phones

Samsung’s One UI 8.5 and One UI 9 are not rivals but consecutive updates: 8.5 is a major skin refresh built on Android 16 (with features like Quick Share) rolling out globally in May 2026, while 9 is a new engine built on Android 17 that’s currently in beta for the Galaxy S26 with a planned full release around July 2026 for foldables. You can’t skip directly from 8.5 to 9, and not every device will receive 9 due to hardware/upgrade limits. If you’re on a supported device, install 8.5 when offered; 9 will follow later if eligible, but it’s not guaranteed for all.

Galaxy S24 Ultra Debuts One UI 8.5 With Focused UI Customization and Subtle Camera Updates

Samsung has started rolling out the stable One UI 8.5 update to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, bringing a highly customizable quick panel and a redesigned Gallery with a bottom blur bar. Most camera features remain unchanged due to hardware limits (no 24MP mode, no horizontal lock, and no APV codec), making this an UI-focused refresh rather than a camera overhaul.

Pixel Watch hit by sleep data and step-count bugs after March update

Google’s Pixel Watch lineup (2–4) is dealing with multiple bugs after a March software update: sleep data and overnight blood-oxygen/skin-temperature readings no longer appear on the watch, with the device showing 'No recent data. Wear your watch to sleep' even though the Fitbit app records wear time and data in the background; separately, Pixel Watch 4 fails to count steps during workouts. Google says it’s working on a fix. Workarounds include ensuring Blood Oxygen and Temperature permissions are set to 'All the time' for the Fitbit app on the watch, force-stopping and clearing cache/data for Fitbit on both watch and phone, and rebooting; a factory reset remains a last resort but will erase data, with no guaranteed success.

Analogue 3D Update Lets N64 Carts Display in Color, With HDR Clarifications

It also clarifies the Advanced HDR feature, noting HDR10-compatible displays will automatically benefit from a wider color range, brighter details, and deeper blacks, while Original Display Modes are HDR-capable. The patch includes SD card stability improvements, an updated Progressive Output toggle (fixing flicker in some games like Resident Evil 2), and various UI and performance tweaks per the official notes.
