Samsung is actively working on the new One UI 8 update, which will be based on Android 16. According to Sammobile, the beta version of this software will be available in the third week of May. However, in the initial testing phase, it will be limited to certain devices and regions.
Samsung is trying to avoid the problems that arose during the launch of One UI 7 and is therefore carefully preparing for the new update. It is expected that the first to receive the beta version will be the flagship smartphones of the Galaxy S25 series. The full launch of One UI 8 may take place in July, after the presentation of the new foldable smartphones Galaxy Fold 7 and Galaxy Flip 7.
New features are expected in One UI 8, including AI Video Summary, an improved version of DeX, a revamped app drawer, and the ability to increase the device's video memory, according to Android Headlines. The update will also bring improved Galaxy Buds headphone control, as well as general interface improvements.
