Rumors suggest One UI 8.5 will make the smart jump between Wi-Fi and data with AI.

The latest leaks indicate that One UI 8.5 will focus on AI to improve connectivity in the Galaxy phones, with Automatic switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data to minimize interruptionsThe idea is simple: let the phone choose the best route for you at any given time, without having to fiddle with settings every now and then.

Along with these improvements, there would also be new features for daily use such as AI-powered notification summaries on the device and an assistant that answers suspicious calls to filter out spam. It's all part of a broader commitment to automate tasks with artificial intelligence and reduce common discomforts.

AI for a more stable connection: from WiFi to 5G without interruptions

In the connectivity settings, two key options land: Intelligent Link Assessment y Intelligent Network SwitchThe first examines the quality of the WiFi link (speed and latency) and, if it detects that it is not up to par, Switch to mobile data before the connection drops to avoid interruptions in video calls, streaming or online games.

The second focuses on context. Intelligent Network Switch learns your routines and detects movement patterns or weak Wi-Fi zones, so it can disable the wireless network and prioritize the cellular connection without manual intervention. In plain English: prevents you from getting stuck when leaving home or work.

To complement this behavior, One UI 8.5 incorporates Realtime Data Priority Mode within the WiFi settings. This mode reallocates bandwidth by prioritizing delay-sensitive tasks—such as video calls and online gaming— and relegating secondary processes (e.g., automatic updates) when necessary.

In test versions it has been observed that the option Secure WiFi may not appear or may be disabled. There is no confirmation that this is a permanent removal, so in all likelihood it is a temporary adjustment of the betas waiting for stable build.

More manageable notifications with AI on your phone

Leaked compilation reveals AI-powered notification summaries that condense long messages and extensive conversations into key points. This feature works on the device, which means local processing without sending data to the cloud, a plus for privacy.

The system will allow exclude apps at your whim (for example, keeping WhatsApp out and applying summaries to email and SMS). As of today, the feature is described but It is not yet operational in test builds, so expect adjustments before the public release.

A shield against unwanted calls

Another of the notable new features is a AI assistant that answers suspicious callsWhen an unknown number comes in, your phone can answer for you, ask who's calling and why, and display a message on the screen. real time transcription from that exchange. At any time, you can take control or simply hang up.

The code also points to practical integrations, such as the ability for the assistant to respond automatically in Do Not Disturb mode, leaving a record of what's important without interrupting you. All of this is a leap forward from current options like Bixby Text Call, which require manual action to activate.

Development status and compatibility

One UI 8.5 is a Intermediate update based on Android 16 and many of its AI features are appearing in development builds. There's no definitive timeline or official model list, so Availability may vary by region and device until Samsung confirms it.

The next version aims for a clear approach: leave the management of connection and communication in the hands of AI to reduce unforeseen events and save time, from automatic selection of the best network channel to a more readable notification inbox and a proactive filter against nuisance calls.
