Samsung is reportedly testing changes to its Phone app for One UI 9.5, with a leaked look suggesting the search control will move from the top of the screen to the bottom navigation bar. Multiple outlets describe the update as a user interface adjustment focused on how people access search within the Phone app.
Alongside the search relocation, TalkAndroid’s report says the One UI 9.5 Phone app also adds a quick action button for sending a message to a number the user has dialed. Other coverage emphasizes the search redesign itself, describing it as an improvement to convenience and accessibility, particularly on larger phones.
Across the reports, the core point of agreement is the bottom placement of the Phone app’s search icon in One UI 9.5. Differences are mainly in the amount of detail: only TalkAndroid mentions the additional quick message shortcut, while the other sources primarily focus on the search button movement.
Note: All details presented are based on leaked screenshots or leaked versions as described by the outlets; none of the reports attributes the changes directly to an official Samsung announcement in the provided summaries.
