A leaked build of One UI 8 reveals a redesigned Auracast interface that improves both visuals and usability. Auracast is a Bluetooth feature that lets users broadcast audio to multiple nearby devices at once. While the feature already worked, its earlier design lacked clarity. The new interface changes that with cleaner visuals, more intuitive controls, and clearer status indicators.
Colorful banner and modern One UI 8-style buttons
When users open Auracast, they now see a large and colorful banner visually explaining what Auracast does: broadcast audio wirelessly to others. It uses simple illustrations and text to help people quickly understand the purpose of the feature, even if they aren’t familiar with Bluetooth audio broadcasting.
Samsung also redesigned the control buttons. They now follow the new One UI 8 design language. Think of rounded corners and better spacing. These changes make the interface feel more modern and consistent with the rest of the system.

Additionally, the new layout makes it obvious when you’re broadcasting. Before, it was often unclear whether a session was live. Now, color changes, animations, and large buttons make the status easy to see at a glance. This gives users more confidence and reduces the risk of mistakenly thinking a session is active.

Easier sharing with QR codes
One of the most practical additions is the ability to invite others via QR code. Instead of navigating menus or pairing devices manually, people can now scan a code and instantly join your Auracast. This works especially well in shared settings like classrooms, guided tours, or events.

No release date yet, but a promising glimpse
Samsung hasn’t announced a release date for One UI 8. Since this redesigned interface was found in a test build, it might still change before it rolls out officially.
Nonetheless, this preview shows real progress. The redesigned Auracast interface makes the feature easier to use and more approachable. Samsung seems to be focusing not just on function, but also on accessibility, clarity, and modern design. That’s good news for anyone who wants to share audio wirelessly with others.
