TL;DR

• Samsung appears to have further reworked the Quick Settings panel in the latest One UI 8.5 build.
• The leak shows dark outlines outside Quick Settings tiles along with a subtle, glass-like interface.
• This adds to the list of features seemingly inspired by Apple’s latest design changes in iOS 26, though it’s not entirely the same.

Samsung’s upcoming One UI 8.5 software for Galaxy smartphones and tablets is set to bring several significant design changes over the current UI. One of these is a refreshed Quick Settings panel, which is expected to become more dynamic and customizable with this future update. Although One UI 8.5 is likely to arrive alongside the Galaxy S26 series — and the beta isn’t coming for the whole of November either, plenty of leaks have given us an overview of these design changes.

While a revamped Quick Settings panel has already been spotted in previously leaked builds of One UI 8.5, the latest leak gives us a better look at additional options it could bring. Tipster Tarun Vats shared a screenshot of the updated panel on X, showing that quick settings tiles for various shortcuts now have a thin outline. This is predominantly visible when the shortcut is disabled.
