  • Samsung’s Now Brief will reportedly receive new info cards and a new widget size in One UI 8.
  • Now Brief could offer parking spot reminders, smart home alerts, and battery alerts for your wearables.
  • These cards could join previously leaked info types like water intake reminders and custom cards.

Samsung debuted the Now Brief feature on its One UI 7 software back in January. This gives you a summary of relevant info at various times of the day, bringing to mind Google Now on old Android phones. We thought this feature left plenty of room for improvement, though, but it looks like One UI 8 will bring some welcome additions.

SammyGuru dug into a leaked One UI 8 beta (BYFB) and found that Now Brief will gain additional info card types. These new info cards are parking spot reminders, smart home alerts, and wearable battery alerts.
