Samsung has announced a new Beta program for Bixby, a lost AI tool which now has a new life, and will be of sincere use to Samsung users. Yes, Samsung launched Vixby as an AI assistant, but people doubted its skills and capabilities, especially when Grok, Claude, OpenAI and other such models were far ahead. But the new Bixby in OneUI 8.5 is something that you should see. So, let’s reveal all the details here.

A New Bixby In OneUI 8.5 Arrives: Becomes More Conversational And Powerful
On 20 February 2026, Samsung announced the OneUI 8.5 beta program. Inside this program, Bixby, which used to be just a voice-based AI assistant, is now transformed into a conversational device agent.
The new Bixby in OneUI 8.5 understands natural language commands, allowing users to describe needs casually without memorising exact settings or phrases. For instance, saying “I don’t want the screen to time out while I’m still looking at it” automatically enables the ‘Keep Screen on While Viewing’ feature. It also offers contextual troubleshooting, such as suggesting Accidental Touch Protection for pocket-related screen issues.
