One UI 8.5 brings three new lock screen clock styles

Samsung hasn’t even released the One UI 8.0 update widely, but One UI 8.5 features have already begun to leak. Recently, we revealed that Samsung is introducing a completely customizable Quick Panel. Now, we’ve discovered three new lock screen clock styles in the upcoming One UI version.

While One UI 8.5 doesn't make any changes to the lock screen clock font collection, it brings three new lock screen clock styles. You can see them in the screenshots added below. All three of them have horizontal layouts. In fact, these are horizontal versions of the new clock styles that were added with the One UI 7.0 update.

Currently, it’s unclear if these new clock styles adapt to faces and shapes on lock screen wallpapers. This build of One UI 8.5 doesn’t offer any additional customisation options for the lock screen. However, Samsung may add more options in future builds.

Some of the other One UI 8.5 features that have recently leaked include NFC-based file sharing via Quick Share, retiring OneDrive backup method, new AI models, changes to Auto Blocker, and pollen information in the Weather app. The update will debut with the Galaxy S26 series.
