One UI 8.5 Showcase [2/4] – Weather, Clock, and Connectivity – Galaxy A57

We are continuing with the set of articles that showcase the new features and changes that were mentioned in the One UI 8.5 changelogs. This part focuses on weather, clock, and connectivity-related changes that were made.

We will split the showcase article into four parts, which you can choose here:

• Part 1: Personalization
• Part 2: Weather, Clock, and Connectivity
• Part 3: Power and Security
• Part 4: Miscellaneous

Now, let’s explore those changes.

The weather widget has been improved so that it shows a graph when a precipitation is expected in a few hours. As there is currently no precipitation, we can’t showcase it here at this time.

Meanwhile, the pollen index has been added, and it consists of:

• Trees
• Grass
• Ragweed

Weather alarm backgrounds allow you to set an alarm wallpaper that shows you the current state of the weather, based on your current location.

The time zone converter has been added, with the new slider making it easier for you to check the timezone differences between different places. Cards have also been added, with the current time for each city being shown, shifted according to the timezone offset.

One UI 8.5 introduces a new feature, called Storage Share, that allows you to access your files anywhere from a different Samsung device running One UI 8.5 or higher. Since the Galaxy Tab S8 won’t receive One UI 8.5, and we have no other devices that support Storage Share, we can’t showcase it properly.

Once you connect to your preferred display, you can open the Smart View menu at the top right corner of the screen to add the current display shortcut to the home screen. After that, if you want to connect to it later, just tap on your display’s name to connect to it instantly, like below:

When it comes to Auracast, options for both broadcasting music and listening to music can now be found in the Audio Broadcast menu from the Settings app. In order to use Auracast, you’ll have to connect to a device that supports it.

Quick Share allows you to choose whether to allow only your devices signed in to the same Samsung Account to send and/or receive files or not. Open Quick Share settings and set thr sharing visibility settings to Your Devices.
