Now Brief may never come to the Galaxy S23 Series
When Samsung didn’t include the Galaxy AI-powered Now Brief on the first One UI 8 Beta for the Galaxy S23, there was still hope that it might be included in later releases. However, Samsung released the One UI 8 Beta 2 yesterday, and SamMobile reports that Now Brief wasn’t included in it.Considering that the feature wasn’t included in two beta versions, it is very unlikely to appear later. Now Brief is available on the Galaxy S25 Series and in the One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S24 Series.
The highlight feature of One UI 8
Now Brief is powered by Galaxy AI and gathers information from some apps, including Samsung’s stock apps and Google apps, to display relevant and personalized information at a glance. That can include flight details, reminders, weather information, and even music playlists.
I hope Samsung gives it a second thought and makes Now Brief available for the Galaxy S23. It would be very disappointing for the company to limit it to newer models just to force people to upgrade. We’ll have the official release of One UI 8 to see if Samsung will do the right thing.
