Quick launch of One UI 8

Galaxy S25 Ultra is a model that is already testing the next generation of Android?

Samsung's next foldable launches with Android 16

Google's changed release schedule for the Android operating system could have significant implications for Samsung.

While most people using a Samsung mobile are still waiting for Android 15-based One UI 7, the timeline for Android 16-based One UI 8 could be very different. 

It is the publication SamMobile citing internal sources, which says that Samsung's upcoming foldable mobiles Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be launched with One UI 8 pre-installed. 

Some vague times to keep in mind are that Samsung usually launches its foldable models in July or August, and that Google is likely to release the final version of Android 16 sometime between Google I/O on May 20 and 21 and the beginning of July. 

Already, beta versions of Android 16/One UI 8 have been discovered running on Galaxy S25 models.
