One UI 8 Leaks: Currently the rollout of a stable One UI 7 update is still pending for many Galaxy devices, but it's not stopping leaks and rumours from spilling out the beans about Samsung's next big software update, the One UI 8. Although it is unfortunate that many regions, including India, are still waiting for a stable One UI 7 update to roll out on Samsung's first wave of previous year's flagship devices, like the S24 series smartphones and more. The reason for this delay was a major bug issue that prompted the Korean tech giant to halt the rollout of One UI 7.

With that said, One UI 8 has been spotted in developmental stages with a few leaks coming out about various apps over the past few weeks. A new which is creating a lot of buzz showcases Samsung's new native weather app.

In a post on X, user @GerwinvGiiessen shared a few snippets of what the new weather app on the One UI 8 could look like. One of the things that pops out the most are 3D avatars that are weather sensitive and react accordingly with forecasts.

 

Previously we have seen the weather app with 2D flat avatars; the 3D avatars certainly add a new flair to it and sport elements like jackets, caps or umbrellas to make it look more real and interactive. Apart from 3D avatars, the app also has a scenic landscape in the background. From the leaks it seems that the weather app will also support animations, giving it a fresh look.

 

The same user has also shared a snippet that shows phone app widgets on One UI 8.

Another user on X, @TechKhaled_shared One UI 8 Photo Editor, which seems to sport a more compact look. Another post from the same user shows the Gallery app with a blurry pop-up; it hints that any pop-up that comes up on the One UI 8 could sport a blurry look and feel, like the ones that come up when you install APKs.

For now all these are speculations, and no official word is there from the tech giant, so we must tread carefully with these leaks and rumours. As users in many regions, including India, are still struggling to get their hands on One UI 7, it would be fair to ask if One UI 8 will follow a similar rollout routine for regions around the globe.
