Samsung may be going in for the full iOS-esque Liquid Glass look in OneUI 9.5
Samsung's One UI 9.5 could introduce a glass-inspired interface with shinier edges, blur effects, greater visual depth and a possible App Lock feature.
Samsung may be considering a more iOS-like Liquid Glass design for the upcoming One UI 9.5, according to early leaks. Tipster Fahad Ali shared screenshots of the potential interface change on X, hinting at a shinier, more transparent look with greater depth. Elements such as widgets and app borders could feature glass-like characteristics, with some apps appearing to have a more glassy appearance around their edges.
The Phone app itself did not seem altered, though the search icon had moved to a new location in the floating navigation bar. The report suggests Samsung is moving away from an incremental refinement approach and instead experimenting with more pronounced visual effects. A potential App Lock feature for One UI 9.5 would allow users to secure selected apps with a password or biometric authentication.
While the design direction is still unconfirmed, the leaked screenshots provide an early peek into Samsung's potential visual overhaul for One UI 9.5, which could arrive as late as April or May 2027.
