Samsung is gearing up for its next big software release, One UI 8, based on Android 16.

This early timeline shows Samsung’s push to deliver updates faster than before, responding to user feedback and Google’s quicker Android schedule. One exciting upgrade in One UI 8 is the expansion of the Now Bar feature. This tool lets users see real-time updates, like music controls or sports scores, right from the lock screen or notification panel.
The update could add support for more apps, making live notifications more versatile. For example, you might get instant updates from your favorite news or fitness apps without unlocking your phone. This aims to make multitasking easier and keep you connected to what matters most.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, expected to launch in July 2025, may come with One UI 8 pre-installed, giving users early access to these improvements. Older devices, like the Galaxy S24 and S23 series, could see the update shortly after. While Samsung hasn’t shared all the details yet, fans are hopeful for a smooth rollout with fewer delays compared to One UI 7. Stay tuned for more news as the beta nears.
