Samsung doesn't always mention every little change in its major One UI update changelogs, and it hasn't done so with the latest One UI 8.5 rollout either.
One unmentioned tweak concerns the Samsung Clock app. More specifically, the alarm clock's snooze function, which now includes a neat countdown.
In previous One UI versions, snoozing an alarm generated a notification showing the exact time the alarm would ring again. In One UI 8.5, you still get a snooze notification, but it's more dynamic.
The new snooze notification shows a live countdown until the next alarm. The same countdown also appears on the Now Bar in One UI 8.5. No snooze information was shown on the Now Bar before this update.

Arguably, this isn't a huge change or a massive quality-of-life improvement, and some One UI 8.5 users may not even notice it if they snooze alarms on autopilot without paying much attention to the screen.
Nevertheless, it's a better formula than before and reflects Samsung's current One UI strategy of refining and tightening the overall experience.
