Admittedly, Samsung didn’t handle the One UI 7 update very well, as many users were left waiting for the stable update more than half a year after the release of Android 15. However, the latest report coming from SamMobile suggests Samsung will try to make it right with the next iteration of One UI 8.
According to the rumor, Samsung is planning to launch its Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 phones with One UI 8 on board, based on Android 16. Google typically releases the annual Android upgrade in the second half of the year, and we expect the Galaxy foldables to arrive in late July to early August, so the timeline checks out.
Still, it’s rather surprising as Samsung usually preloads the current One UI version with an incremental upgrade. So launching the bendies with One UI 8 could mean the software will be available for the Galaxy S25 and S24 series much sooner.
