One UI 8 He promises to be one of the most anticipated updates of the last few years by users Samsung and the plans of the company that speak of accelerated launch times They did nothing but give strength to the rumors and news around it.
In addition, the official confirmation that many were waiting for: Android 16 will arrive on Samsung devices already during this summer last week; The Mountain View giant has made official that the new version of the operating system It will reach the status of stable version already next month; As a result, the rollouts for Samsung and other manufacturers will start right during the summer season.
Everything aligns perfectly with the release timing of the Korean giant which plans to launch the beta of the One UI 8 Starting from June To then culminate in the stable release in the months of July-August.
One UI 8 is synonymous with Android 16the operating system of the green robot on which Samsung’s interface is based, which will bring an impressive amount of novelty as a dowry and which is already widely recognized as one of the most full -bodied updates in the recent history of Android.
Among the most interesting innovations, the Live Updates: in Italian “Real -time information“Or special notifications designed for those” current activities “that need to provide constant updates to users (such as Ridesharing services, food delivery and navigation notices).
These, apparently, will integrate perfectly with a novelty in place of the One UI 7 or the Now barthe element of the completely new owner interface that shows the ongoing activities on the phone and also appears in the lock screen.
Well, apparently it is already a recourse time for the Now Bar thanks to One UI 8 who will integrate the information in real time of Android 16 inside.
With the One UI 8 the now bar will unite the forces with the live updates of Android 16
The now bar was starting to receive, and earn, the appellation of function as promising in the presentation phase as, at present, a half disappointment Due to the scarcity of information shown and the low adoption by the developers.
The two functions, of Samsung on the one hand, e Googleon the other, although distant from the design point of view, they are extremely similar on the theoretical level: show the real -time information of all applications activities that require constant updating; Where to show this information? On the lock screen and/or on the status bar.
A few weeks ago some files of the One UI 8 firmware were stolen and released on the net, files that the developer and now leaker @DevofLPros he found and studied in depth, managing to discover that Android 16’s live updates will be integrated into the Now Bar starting from the One UI 8also attaching Screenshots that also bring this thesis even more.
So, as you can see from the aforementioned screens, when a test is started that activates the notification of the live updates on the devices with Android 16, this It appears in the Now Bar Of the Galaxy smartphones with the one UI 8.0 on board.
The aforementioned notification, however, appears in the lock screen, in the status bar and in the notifications section, just as as a script.
By touching the pill -shaped element in the status bar, this expands in one Complete notification at the top of the screen of the phone to view additional information, such as the current state of the application of the chosen application.
In fact, in fact, asymbiotic integration between now bar information in real time both in terms of design and functionality.
As mentioned, the two functions aim to achieve the same objectives and the integration seen in the screenshots seems to be extremely organic and well represents the union between the two. Google and Samsung have always been commercial partners under a myriad of areas and this collaboration between the two functions only strengthens the link between the two giants.
Now the ball will move on to the developers which will have the task of integrating the function into their applications in the most useful and effective way by respecting the aesthetic canons of the operating system; To do justice to the goodness of the Now Bar and Live Updates project.
