Samsung Expands One UI 8 (Android 16) Rollout to Galaxy S24 Line and A56

Beta users in parts of Europe receive the final build first under Samsung’s market- and carrier-staged rollout.

Overview

  • Stable One UI 8 is moving beyond the S25 series to the Galaxy S24 family and the midrange Galaxy A56, following last week’s S25 update.
  • The Galaxy S24 package is about 5.5 GB and includes the September security patch, with general availability beginning after beta validation.
  • Build BYI5 is reaching beta participants in several European countries, including Germany, ahead of broader distribution.
  • Samsung has published a 2025 update schedule and is delivering updates in regional and carrier waves, so availability will vary by market and device.
  • A leaked internal One UI 8.5 build shows UI changes such as a new boot logo and pill-style navigation, though features and timing remain unconfirmed and are reportedly targeted for early 2026.
