Samsung has started testing OneUI8 based on Android 816. Ironically, an update for Android 15-based OneUI 7 has still not been released, even after months of testing. The update will finally start rolling out next month, and the waiting game will soon begin again as Google aims to release Android 16 in June.
We're naturally hoping that Samsung will be faster with this update than previous ones, but of course that's no guarantee. The fact that the Korean company is already testing OneUI8 internally seems to be a good sign.
Today, the first OneUI8 version of the Galaxy S25 series appeared on Samsung's firmware servers, and the good news is that the company started development two months earlier than usual. However, Android 16 may be launched earlier this year. Maybe Samsung will release the OneUI8 update before the end of the year.
