TL;DR
- Samsung’s One UI 8.5 beta introduces a dynamic lock screen clock that more intelligently adapts to your wallpaper.
- While One UI 8.0 focused on people and pets, this update pushes the tech to recognize and adapt to almost any background.
- The new feature automatically rearranges the clock and widgets to prevent them from covering important parts of your photo.
Samsung might just reignite your love for your lock screen with a smarter clock. The company just kicked off the One UI 8.5 beta program for the Galaxy S25 series, and one of the standout features is a big update to the lock screen clock. Now, it changes from a simple timestamp to a dynamic design that adapts to any wallpaper on the lock screen.
