Samsung's One UI 8.5 to Introduce Customizable Quick Settings Panel

Summary

Samsung's upcoming One UI 8.5 update is set to offer users enhanced customization options for the Quick Settings panel, allowing adjustments to toggle sizes and layouts.

Samsung's forthcoming One UI 8.5 update is poised to provide Galaxy users with greater control over the Quick Settings panel. Leaked firmware files indicate that users will be able to adjust the size and position of each toggle, as well as modify elements like the media widget, volume slider, and brightness controls. This level of customization mirrors features introduced in Android 16's Material 3 Expressive update for Google Pixel devices earlier this year.

The One UI 8.5 update is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy S26 series, with a broader rollout to existing devices anticipated in early 2026.

In addition to the customizable Quick Settings, One UI 8.5 is rumored to include other enhancements such as new AI tools and design refinements.

Samsung has not yet officially announced the release date for One UI 8.5, but further details are expected as the launch of the Galaxy S26 series approaches.
