OneUI 8 rollout with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7
We have completed 7 days of April, and Samsung users are still waiting for the OneUI 7. While it’s reported to roll out this week, the company is already set to launch OneUI 8 based on Android 16 with Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 in July. A SamMobile report has provided insider information confirming that OneUI 8 is being tested internally for the Galaxy S25 series.
Google’s Android 16 update is also running ahead of schedule. Therefore, soon after the Google I/O event in May, the company may bring the stable version during the same month or in June, which also aligns with Samsung’s foldable launch in July as well.
Furthermore, the report also suggests that Samsung may not introduce any additional versions of OneUI 7 as it plans to directly shift to the latest One UI 8 update. As of now, we are unsure about the beta timeline for the new Samsung update. However, the Galaxy S25 series will be the first in line for beta testing before the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 launch.
Therefore, we may not have to wait a whole year for OneUI 8 as Samsung plans to introduce the new OS in just 6 months. Alongside OneUI 8, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 also have several upgrades in store for users, making the second quarter of 2025 crucial for the tech industry.
