The initial beta release of One UI 8 has been unveiled today for the Galaxy S25 series, bringing along a slew of valuable features. Among the changes highlighted earlier was the enhancement of the Multi-Window mode. However, this latest beta update introduces more than just that. For users who frequently customize their Galaxy smartphone’s home screen with widgets, there is exciting news. One UI 8 now offers an additional option for resizing widgets on Galaxy smartphones.
For years, Samsung users were constrained to a fixed widget size, unable to adjust them to appear larger. Thankfully, One UI 8 is here to revolutionize that experience. According to insights from Android Authority, the One UI 8 Beta presents users with an additional size option for widgets, allowing them to resize widgets for a more visually appealing home screen. Previously, widgets were limited to occupying three rows on the home screen, but now users have the flexibility to expand them to four rows.
In the past, Samsung seemed to have set a standard 3×4 size for all widgets displayed on the home screen. However, with the latest update, it appears that the supported widget size has expanded to 4×4. This change is evident in the provided screenshots, showcasing the increased widget size option now available to users.
Apart from the enhanced widget size feature, One UI 8 introduces a range of other exciting updates. Users can now easily search for files on their Samsung Galaxy device with the help of new filters, streamlining the process. Furthermore, the update brings deeper integration for older Galaxy Buds models, enhancing the overall user experience.
With these new features and improvements, One UI 8 is set to elevate the user experience on Galaxy smartphones, offering enhanced customization options and improved functionality. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements as Samsung continues to enhance its One UI platform for users worldwide.
