Samsung has confirmed it is rushing to release the stable version of One UI 8.0, but a difficult choice lies ahead – either delay development of One UI 7.1 or jump directly to One UI 8. The company’s decision comes as it struggles with delays in releasing One UI 7.0 based on Android 16, which is expected to arrive in June.
The latest update suggests that Samsung will focus on rolling out Android 16 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. However, fans should not get too excited about One UI 8.0 just yet, as it has not been officially announced or released for any devices.
Recent reports claim that internal Samsung test units have run One UI 8.0 on phones such as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 in India. However, these claims have not been confirmed by the company, and experts believe they may be referring to early-stage development units.
