Samsung's upcoming One UI 8.5, slated for next year's Galaxy S26, shows early design changes. Leaked images reveal a redesigned settings menu with a floating AI-powered search bar, reminiscent of Apple's Liquid Glass design. The back button also floats independently. While currently minor, these changes suggest a potential shift in Samsung's visual design language, possibly influenced by Apple's iOS or Google's Material 3.
