Samsung's One UI 9.5 leaks point to agent-style Bixby and a new Memory app

Leaked details suggest Samsung is preparing One UI 9.5, the next major update for its Galaxy phones, with two AI additions. Beta code in the Bixby app reportedly shows an Actions feature. A user can ask Bixby for a recurring task, such as a daily exchange rate report, then confirm or cancel it. Created actions can be paused, pinned, deleted, and reviewed through a chat log.

Reports also describe Memory, a new app that works in a similar way to Google's Pixel Screenshots. According to onboarding screens seen by SamMobile, Memory would collect screenshots, voice notes, links and text. Its AI would generate titles, summaries and tags, and could group related items into collections. Users may be able to add content through the share sheet and run the AI processing on the device. It is unclear whether the app is opt-in or opt-out.

The sources differ on some details. Android Authority and Android Police describe the Bixby feature as a step toward Gemini-style agents, but neither confirms whether Actions will handle multistep workflows, monitoring or triggers. Android Police also reports that Samsung is working on voice recording for VoIP calls in apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger and Viber, but no supported apps are confirmed.

Availability is not confirmed. Android Police reports that One UI 9.5, based on Android 17 QPR, is expected in early 2027 and could align with the Galaxy S27 launch. The new Bixby could first reach flagship models such as the Galaxy S26 series, Galaxy Z Fold 8 series and Z Flip 8, or it may be limited to the Galaxy S27 series at first. Engadget expects a beta soon but gives no date.
