One UI 7 is yet to reach dozens of Galaxy devices that are eligible for this massive upgrade. The rollout has certainly been disappointing so far, but that isn’t going to repeat with the next upgrade, One UI 8, as the brand is already into its development. On the other hand, Google is also preparing for a faster Android 16 release, earlier than OS releases in the last few years.
One UI 8 details are currently under wraps. Samsung hasn’t even revealed which Galaxy phones and tablets will get the next major One UI upgrade. So, we had to rely on the existing software update policy to create the One UI 8 eligible devices list. Review it below to find out if your Galaxy device is eligible for the next major upgrade.

When will Samsung release One UI 8 (Android 16)?
Samsung doesn’t want to delay the One UI 8 release like it did with One UI 7. That’s why the brand has reportedly decided to skip incremental updates like One UI 7.1 and 7.1.1 and directly release One UI 8 instead.
This will be a good move that will restore the brand’s reputation of providing long-term and timely updates that it has earned over the years. Samsung hasn’t announced the One UI 8 release date. However, according to a report, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 would run One UI 8 out of the box. These devices are expected to launch around July or early August 2025.
Google has already confirmed that Android 16 will be released in the second quarter, which means by June 2025. Some reports say it could arrive early in May. Either way, Android 16 is coming earlier than the OS release in the last few years, leaving less preparation time for Samsung and other Android brands. The One UI 8 beta program is expected to go live around July 2025. Take it with a pinch of salt, though, as things haven’t been promising with Samsung recently.
