Google has announced the Android 16 roll out plans in the next few months, and now Samsung is joining the gang with some happy news for its Galaxy phone users. The One UI 8 version is unlikely to face the issues that Samsung faced with the Android 15-based One UI update this year.

The company was part of the Android Show earlier this week, where in the device showcase section, it announced the One UI 8 release timeline for its users.

Samsung’s head of smartphone planning, Minseok Kang has announced that the Android 16 based will be coming out this Summer which means anywhere between June 2025 to September this year. Granted, these timelines are not written in stone and going by the last roll out schedule, Samsung could easily tweak its roadmap. 

Having said that, the One UI 7 update was one of the biggest overhauls at the company which somehow explains the delay in the last 8 months or so. The One UI 8 version is likely to see incremental changes and mostly related to the Android 16 features, so Samsung should have an easier time to release it quickly.

We are hoping that the brand is able to keep its promise this year and live up to its 7 OS upgrade claim for its users. The first Android 16 beta should be available before end of May if the company is going to fulfill its public release timeline.

Earlier this week, Google confirmed that Android 16 release will happen as early as June, which is the fastest new version update we have seen from the tech giant. Google has usually used the Pixel launch event to announce the new Android version roll out which happens around October.

But it seems last year’s Pixel 9 series launch in August was not an anomaly, which explains the Android 16 release timeline pushed forward to June this year.
