After a big redesign with One UI 7, Samsung is now rolling out One UI 8, a fresh update that polishes the look and adds smarter tools to Galaxy phones. At first, the beta landed on flagship models like the Galaxy S25, but the company has now said loads of Galaxy A phones will get it too.

The stable version will arrive with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, then roll out over time to all other compatible devices.

What’s New in One UI 8?

Based on Android 16, One UI 8 builds on earlier strengths and tweaks them for a smoother day-to-day experience. Here is what users can look forward to:

Top Features:

  • Improved Quick Share: Send files and pictures in a flash.
  • Revamped My Files App: Find downloads and sorted folders with a tap.
  • Samsung DeX & Internet Upgrades: Snappier multitasking and smoother big-screen work.
  • Better Reminder & Calendar: Ready-made templates and holiday sync.
  • Samsung Health: Group runs, meal nudges, and easier tracking.
  • Camera & Gesture Enhancements: Snap shots with faster swipes and smarter settings.
