Highlights of One UI 8

At the heart of One UI 8 is the deep integration of artificial intelligence, transforming Galaxy AI into a more intelligent and proactive assistant. Highlights include:

-Gemini Live upgrade : Enables natural multimodal interaction, combining voice and visuals to handle complex tasks.

- "Circle to find" enhancement: Enhances the ability to search for visual information.

-Powerful creative tools: Such as "sketch to photo" and "Audio Eraser" to remove noise, expanding users' creativity.

In terms of interface, One UI 8 not only refines aesthetics but also introduces the smart "Now Bar" feature, which acts as a contextual information center, displaying updates directly from the application. Multitasking capabilities are optimized, making operations on large screens and foldable devices more seamless.

Security is a top priority with advanced protection that proactively blocks threats from untrusted apps and insecure connections. At the same time, users are given control over on-device AI data processing, ensuring privacy and information security.
