Samsung has officially started rolling out its new One UI 8.0 software with the Galaxy S25 lineup, but most Galaxy owners will need to wait a little longer. A newly published schedule from Samsung’s Community Forum in South Korea shows that the update won’t hit the majority of supported devices until October, with some models pushed back even further.
The first wave of devices — the Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, and S25 Edge — received the update on September 15 in South Korea. A wider release is expected soon, but according to SamMobile, older flagships and mid-range devices won’t see One UI 8 until next month.
October’s rollout will include the Galaxy S24, S23, and S22 series, along with the Galaxy Tab S10 family, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, and popular mid-range options like the Galaxy A36 and A35. Users of the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S8 series, as well as entry-level models such as the Galaxy A16 and A15, will have to wait until November.
One UI 8.0, which is based on Android 16, introduces new AI-driven features, multitasking upgrades, and a more refined interface. Samsung appears to be prioritizing its latest flagships first to ensure stability, though the staggered schedule may leave some long-time users frustrated.
While the delays aren’t unusual for a major update across such a large lineup, they come as rivals like Xiaomi or Vivo accelerate their global Android 16 rollout. For Galaxy users, the improvements are coming — but patience will be required.
