Samsung Browser for phones will soon get a major upgrade with One UI 9.5

Improved desktop mode for DeX, navigation using natural language, and QR code generation for webpage links.

TL;DR

Samsung Browser is getting a more desktop-like interface in DeX, with a sidebar that brings AI tools and multitasking features to larger screens.

It will add natural-language web navigation, letting users type or speak requests to find and open webpages.

The browser will also be able to generate QR codes for pages, and the update is expected to arrive with One UI 9.5.

After bringing you an early look at Samsung's upcoming AI-powered Memory app and Bixby's agentic AI capabilities, we have discovered new Samsung Browser's upcoming features for phones and tablets with Galaxy AI.

Samsung's in-house web browser will offer an improved desktop mode when using DeX mode, making the browser feel more like a traditional desktop app. It also introduces a more convenient way to navigate the web using natural language. Additionally, the browser can generate QR codes for webpages, making it easier to share them with others.

The updated user interface appears to take inspiration from the Windows version of Samsung Browser. It features a desktop-style sidebar that makes web browsing and multitasking more convenient on larger displays, like foldable phones and tablets.

The sidebar integrates several Galaxy AI features, including Ask Anything, Read Highlights Aloud, Summarise, and Translate. These tools allow you to interact with the web without leaving the page. The browser can also suggest relevant questions that users can ask the AI assistant.

Alternatively, you can tap the microphone button and speak the same instruction. The browser will convert your speech into text and process the request.

Generating QR codes for webpages

The upcoming version of the browser also offers an option to generate a QR code for any webpage you are currently viewing. You can access it from the browser's menu and share the generated QR code with others, allowing them to open the same webpage on their device.

Interestingly, this feature isn't exclusive to DeX. It is also available when using Samsung Browser on Galaxy phones and tablets in its normal mode.

Samsung Browser's new features could debut with One UI 9.5

Samsung Browser already works with DeX, but the improved desktop interface could make the experience significantly more desktop-friendly. It could be particularly useful for Galaxy phone and tablet users who rely on DeX for productivity.

The new browser version is expected to arrive with One UI 9.5. However, Samsung hasn't officially announced the update or confirmed when these changes will become available.
