That early hint now appears to be taking shape in a more refined form, as a SamMobile report suggests Samsung is developing a new Gesture Wake-up feature expected to arrive with One UI 9.Instead of relying on the usual “Hi Bixby” wake phrase or tapping a shortcut, you can simply pick up your phone, bring it closer to your face, and start speaking.
