TL;DR Samsung’s One UI 9 may bring a weekly weather forecast to Now Brief.
Leaked screenshots show a seven-day forecast with highs, lows, and weather icons.
The images also suggest Samsung is testing new themes for the weather cards.
Samsung’s Now Brief is a good concept, but not everyone is convinced by it just yet. In fact, one Android Authority writer recently called it “nothing but a glorified weather and news app, and a bad one at that,” in his less-than-favorable assessment. The latest One UI 9 leak suggests Samsung may at least be trying to improve the weather aspect of the app.

According to SammyGuru, Samsung appears to be testing a weekly weather forecast inside Now Brief for One UI 9. Right now, the feature only gives you a quick look at the current day before sending you to weather.com for a fuller forecast. Based on the screenshots shared with the outlet, that could be changing, with the week ahead shown directly inside the briefing.
As the leaked images reveal, rather than just showing today’s conditions, they appear to build a full weekly forecast into Now Brief itself, complete with daily highs, lows, and weather icons. For a feature that is, by its nature, at-a-glance, that would be a fairly obvious and practical use of the space.
