Samsung officially reveals the upgraded Bixby in One UI 8.5 | Infinium-tech
The fifth One UI 8.5 beta has just gone live with the February Android security patch and an updated version of Bixby. Samsung has now officially detailed the upgraded Bixby, which is now being called Conversational Device Agent.
In an official press release, Samsung detailed the new features coming to Bixby in One UI 8.5, which is expected to go official with the Galaxy S26 series on February 25.
According to Samsung, the new Bixby will allow users to control and manage device settings using natural language. For example, a user can say they don’t want the screen to turn off while watching, and Bixby will automatically enable the “Keep screen on while watching” setting.
The updated Bixby also supports real-time web search, which enables the chatbot to deliver the latest, up-to-date results for user queries. These results are displayed directly in the Bixby interface.
If you are running the latest One UI 8.5 beta 5, you can try out the new Bixby experience. It is currently only available in select regions including Germany, India, Korea, Poland, the UK, and the US, with a wider rollout expected later.
