One UI 8.5 Showcase [4/4] – Miscellaneous – Galaxy A57
The last part shows you some of the other changes that were introduced to One UI 8.5, according to the changelogs that we’ve linked in the first part. For the Galaxy A57, One UI 8.5 is already installed since the device was released. This last part focuses on other changes, such as accessibility improvements, early alerts, and more.
We will split the showcase article into four parts, which you can choose here:
Now, let’s explore those changes.
If you have Bluetooth hearing aids, you can now easily manage them from the accessibility settings. We don’t have any hearing aids to showcase the improvements made, so we can only show you the connection screen.
You can now let the magnified area follow the keyboard input as you type, and follow the mouse cursor movement as you drag your mouse to the edge of the screen.
Dwell actions and corner actions are now available when you’re using your phone with your mouse. The following features are:
- When you stop moving your mouse in a specified location for a few seconds, an action is automatically executed.
- When you move your mouse to a corner of the screen, an action is automatically executed.
Previously, this was implemented under a single feature called Auto Action After Pointer Stops.
Early alerts for reminders can now be set, so that you can be reminded of an action in advance. You can choose either from a predefined set of minutes, or from a custom time period.
When you open a new tab in Samsung Browser, the page that shows you the speed dial has been rebranded, allowing you to more quickly access the websites and the features you need the most, along with the current security status and tabs open from other devices signed in to the same Samsung account, whether it’s another phone, a tablet, or a PC.
You can now record only a small portion of the screen, ensuring that you don’t have to record the whole screen and then editing later to crop it to a smaller screen. This saves time and effort.
Finally, when you copy a formula to your clipboard, you can open the calculator, and a small button that shows you the copied formula appears. Just tap it, and the calculator will calculate it for you without having to manually type it again. Try copying this formula to your clipboard on your phone running One UI 8.5 and opening your Calculator: 850*(75-25)
Overall, One UI 8.5 brought some of the amazing improvements that were made to the Galaxy A series devices, except for the AI features which didn’t make it to those devices, because they’re made to be exclusive to the latest Galaxy S flagship series, starting from the Galaxy S25.
One UI 9.0 is already eligible for the Galaxy A57 as the first Android OS upgrades, which will elevate your experience to the next level with even more customization options for the Quick Panel.
