More Samsung Galaxy S26 Features Could Come To The Galaxy S25 With One UI 8.5

There is also potential good news for Galaxy S25 owners. Samsung may be preparing to bring Galaxy S26 AI notification tools to the Galaxy S25 series in a June 2026 One UI 8.5 update, according to Tarun Vats on X. Specifically, Priority and Summarize Notifications.

Priority Notifications uses AI to rank important alerts when surfacing them, while Summarize Notifications condenses chats without requiring you to open the app. It is not confirmed that either feature will make it to the Galaxy S25 series, but they would join a handful of advanced AI tools that already made their way down from the Galaxy S26 in the first wave of One UI 8.5, including Audio Eraser, Creative Studio, Call Screening and an updated Photo Assist.
