A new One UI 8.5 firmware for the Galaxy S25 Ultra has leaked, and like previous builds, it brings a few improvements to existing features. One of those improvements involves the adaptive lock screen clock font that Samsung first introduced with One UI 8.0.

For those unfamiliar, the adaptive clock font automatically adjusts its size, orientation, and layout based on the subject in the lock screen wallpaper. In One UI 8.0, this feature worked only when the wallpaper included humans or animals. With One UI 8.5, Samsung is expanding its functionality to recognize and adapt to all kinds of objects, as discovered by prolific X leakster @UniverseIce.

You can watch how the adaptive clock works in One UI 8.5 in the video below.
