There are already plenty of One UI 8.5 leaks out in the wild, giving us a pretty good idea of what to expect with the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. If everything goes according to plan, the Galaxy S26 lineup will ship with One UI 8.5 out of the box, while other devices currently running One UI 8.0 should get the update later. Today, we are giving you a first look at the redesigned in-call screen in One UI 8.5.

One UI 8.5 will revamp the in-call screen, here’s what it looks like

In a separate article, we have broken down the changes coming to the Phone app in One UI 8.5, including updates to the navigation bar. Instead of three separate tabs, there is now a single floating pill with a circle marking the active tab, along with a couple of other tweaks. Now, let us dive into the changes Samsung is making to the in-call interface.

As you can see above, the in-call screen has been visually refreshed compared to One UI 8. The new version replaces the flat control board with squircle-shaped buttons while also rearranging their layout. The three-dot “More options” button has been given a more prominent spot as well.

The in-call dialer also adopts the new style, shifting from a dense flat layout to neatly separated buttons. Beyond that, there are no drastic changes. Of course, we do not yet know if this is the final design. Samsung could still refine things further, especially since we are at least three months away from any public release.
