One UI 8 leak indicates Samsung could fix Now Bar oversight on Flip foldables

- Leaked videos show improved app closing animations in Samsung’s upcoming One UI 8 update. This is a subtle change that most users will not notice.
- Further, flip phones like the Galaxy Z Flip are also said to be getting the full Now Bar functionality on their cover screens with the One UI 8 update. This would fix a rather noticeable oversight from Samsung when it introduced the feature with One UI 7.
One UI 7 rollout is in full swing, but there’s no escaping the fact that it was heavily delayed. So while Samsung is already at work preparing the One UI 8 update for its devices, it isn’t surprising since it’s about time anyway. We’ve already seen a few leaks showing the upcoming Android platform update for Galaxy devices. New leaks are now shedding light on the animation improvements and the Now Bar optimization for Flip foldables.
X user Gamer Omega has shared a video purportedly showing off animations on One UI 8. Allegedly, One UI 8 no longer interrupts the app closing animation if you spam-exit a few apps.
