Unfortunately, with each major update, the lifespan of many Galaxy devices is shortened – and that’s what happened with One UI 7. As a result, only a small number of Samsung devices will get an update to One UI 8 based on Android 16. In this post, we’ll reveal the list of Galaxy A-series models that will support the update.
The following is a list of the Galaxy A-series models that will support the update.
Samsung has not yet announced the final list of Galaxy devices that will receive the update, but thanks to its transparent update policy, we can assume the following list:
- Galaxy A73
- Galaxy A56
- Galaxy A55
- Galaxy A54
- Galaxy A53
- Galaxy A36
- Galaxy A35
- Galaxy A34
- Galaxy A33
- Galaxy A26
- Galaxy A25
- Galaxy A24
- Galaxy A16 (LTE/5G)
- Galaxy A15 (LTE/5G)
- Galaxy A06 (LTE/5G)
If your Galaxy A-series device is on the list, expect an official notification when the update begins. Owners of other models should wait for final confirmation from Samsung for now.
Samsung has not yet announced an exact release date for One UI 8. However, the company has confirmed that the update will arrive «this summer». That could mean between June and September. The brand recently said that the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 foldable devices will come with One UI 8 pre-installed right out of the box.

There’s no official release date for the new foldable gadgets yet, but recent reports point to them coming out as early as next month – which makes sense given the imminent launch of Android 16. After that, it’ll take a few weeks to finalize the user interface. So it’s likely that the One UI 8 will be released in July.
Samsung is showing more confidence with the release of One UI 8 compared to the previous version. Public beta testing has already begun, and the company is sticking to the release schedule – although the exact date hasn’t been announced yet. That’s much better than the situation with One UI 7.
One UI 8 is a relatively minor update compared to previous versions, which explains the accelerated development timeline. However, Samsung has put more effort into rebuilding user trust after the problems with One UI 7, and that makes this update an important step forward.
