Samsung's One UI 8 update now reaches Galaxy A55

Technology Sep 29, 2025

Samsung just dropped its One UI 8 update (built on Android 16), rolling out first in Korea as of late September 2025.
The update is now rolling out to the Galaxy S23 series, Tab S10, and A series, among others—and it's landing early, before the planned October release.
Expect it to hit more regions soon.

What's new in One UI 8

Support has now doubled to cover newer models like the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and A55. There was a hiccup with the Z Fold SE version—it got pulled back due to touch issues.
On the bright side, One UI 8 brings a refreshed interface, smoother performance, better battery life, upgraded privacy controls, and new camera tools for editing and low-light shots.
