Samsung has announceed the launch of beta program for the new Bixby in One UI 8.5. The update claims to make Bixby on Galaxy devices “more intuitive, as users can simply ask for what they need through natural language. Additionally, it expands access to up-to-date answers from the open web,” said the company.
New Bixby in One UI 8.5: Features
With the new Bixby in One UI 8.5, users can control and navigate Galaxy devices using natural language, without the need for exact setting names or commands. “Users don’t need to learn how device menus are structured or remember specific terms to get things done; they can simply describe what they want – or ask why something is happening on their device – in their own words,” said the company.
Bixby understands the intent and takes the appropriate action, reducing the time and effort required to manage everyday device settings and features. For example, a user could say, “I don’t want the screen to time out while I’m still looking at it.” Bixby understands the request and immediately turns on the ‘Keep Screen on While Viewing’ setting – without requiring them to navigate through settings or know the feature’s exact name.
Rather than offering generic instructions, Bixby can further also identify the current settings of the device and suggest various possible solutions. This reduces trial and error, helping people complete tasks more quickly, even when they are unfamiliar with the device or its features.

If a user asks, “Why is my phone screen always on when it’s inside my pocket?” Bixby will use the context of the situation and bring up relevant settings, such as Accidental Touch Protection, allowing them to turn it on directly.
The new Bixby in One UI 8.5 also supports real-time web search capabilities. Now it can access live and up-to-date information, with results appearing within Bixby’s own user interface. This means people can explore topics and get answers to questions as part of one consistent and seamless experience. Without being redirected to a separate Browser or app, users can find what they need more quickly and stay focused on the task at hand.
For instance, users can say to Bixby, “Find me hotels in Seoul that have swimming pools for kids.” Bixby processes the request and provides relevant web search results directly within its interface, allowing users to explore available options without interruption or delay.
