One UI 9 based on Android 17 will introduce Gesture Wake-up, letting users summon Bixby by lifting the phone to their face without a hotword. This adds a third activation method alongside the power button and voice command. One UI 9 launches in July on the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Flip8.

Samsung's Bixby lift-to-talk feature moves closer to reality with One UI 9, letting users issue voice commands by lifting the phone toward their face without a wake phrase or tap. The feature is not in the latest One UI 9 beta, indicating ongoing refinement. Accidental triggers remain a concern.
