Samsung users are in for some exciting news! The company is preparing to roll out its One UI 8 update based on Android 16, and a leaked schedule has revealed when different Galaxy devices will receive the much-awaited upgrade. While Samsung has not made an official announcement yet, the leaked roadmap suggests that the rollout will begin very soon, starting with the flagship Galaxy S25 series and gradually expanding to other Galaxy smartphones, foldables, tablets, and even smartwatches.
Galaxy S25 Series to Lead the Android 16-Based One UI 8 Rollout
According to the leak, the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra will be the first to receive the update on September 18. Just a week later, the Galaxy S25 Edge will join the list alongside the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24 FE, and Galaxy S24, with their rollout expected to start on September 25. This shows that Samsung wants to prioritize its latest flagship models before moving on to older generations.
Good News for Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S22 Owners
If you own an older flagship like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, S23+, S23 FE, or Galaxy S23, you won’t have to wait too long. These devices are tipped to receive the One UI 8 update on October 2. Following closely, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, S22+, and S22 are expected to get the update by October 6. This means even users of last year’s models will quickly experience the new Android 16 features and Samsung’s upgraded interface.
Samsung Galaxy Z Series and A Series Will Also Get the Update Soon

In the rugged XCover series, the Galaxy XCover 7 and XCover 6 Pro could get the update by October 23.
