Samsung Rebrands 'Samsung Internet' as 'Samsung Browser' on Galaxy S26

The change appears only on version 29.0.4.45 for stable One UI 8.5, leaving functionality unchanged.

Overview

SamMobile observed the new name on a Galaxy S26 Ultra, with the Galaxy Store on S26 devices also showing the updated listing.
In the app drawer the title shows simply as "Browser," reflecting One UI’s earlier move to drop the Samsung prefix for stock apps.
Older models such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra on One UI 8.0 with app version 29.0.1.12 still display "Samsung Internet Browser."
No new features accompany the rename; interface tweaks like a more compact Tabs bar and thinner menu stem from the One UI 8.5 beta.
Samsung has not provided a rollout timeline, and coverage speculates the simpler branding could extend to more devices and the PC app.
