TL;DR Samsung has officially confirmed that stable One UI 8 is coming to most of the devices in its portfolio in 2025 itself.
Based on community forum announcements, only the Galaxy S25 series will get the update this month.
The update will be available in October and November for most other phones, including older flagships, mid-range phones, and budget phones.
Earlier today, Samsung began rolling out stable One UI 8 based on Android 16 to its Galaxy S25 flagship series. This marks a significant expansion of Samsung’s latest stable software release, extending beyond the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE that launched with it out of the box. Samsung has an expansive device portfolio, and the company has now shared more details on One UI 8 stable rollout for the rest of its lineup.
