Samsung has officially started the rollout of the stable One UI 8.0 (Android 16) update this week. Earlier, the company had revealed that the update would be released in September but did not announce an actual release date.
The new software will come to eligible Galaxy phones and tablets in a phased manner, which means not all devices will get the update right away.

The stable One UI 8.0 update began rolling out to the Galaxy S25 series today, September 15. Older high-end devices, such as the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6, should receive the update in the coming weeks. Most other eligible devices, including tablets, will likely get the update before the end of this year.
One UI 8.0 brings enhanced AI features, improvements to Now Bar and Now Brief, more secure Knox features, and increased UI customization options. As usual, Samsung has also improved the stability, security, and privacy with its new software.
It also brings a more secure version of Secure Folder, improved Samsung DeX, redesigned Quick Share, more convenient AI Select, and improved Calendar, Clock, and Reminders apps. Furthermore, One UI 8 introduces better flow for creating Bluetooth Auracast audio casts; the Weather app brings revamped visuals.
