TL;DR

• Samsung’s One UI 8.5 is expected to bring a major redesign for its system apps.
• Recent leaks point to redesigned Clock, Calculator, and Internet apps.
• The update brings a good dose of colors and 3D neomorphic effects.

Samsung’s One UI 8.5 has already been spoiled by extensive leaks, even before the official release or even a beta rollout. Based on these leaks, we know that Samsung is planning a significant visual overhaul with the update, including redesigned menus and transparency features seemingly inspired by Apple’s latest iOS 26 update. In addition, Samsung is also expected to enhance app icons with 3D effects that might remind you of the bygone Touchwiz era. However, a more recent leak suggests these traits may not be limited just to app icons.

With One UI 8.5, Samsung could add 3D neomorphic effects to various system apps. A series of recent leaks already indicated these changes are coming to the Clock, Calculator, and the Samsung Internet browser.
