Overview
- Samsung’s final One UI 8/Android 16 builds for the Galaxy Z Flip6, Z Fold6 and S24 were released on Monday, according to ComputerBase.
- The Galaxy A36 has begun receiving One UI 8 in South Korea with firmware A366NKSU2BYI9 and the September 2025 security patch.
- The distribution is proceeding in phases by region and device, so some users will wait for the update notification or trigger an OTA check, with manual installation via Odin reported as an option.
- One UI 8 delivers multimodal Galaxy AI features including Gemini Live for real‑time, on‑screen context recognition and camera‑aware assistance.
- Security enhancements include Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection, which limits apps to their own sensitive data and can automatically sign out devices deemed at risk, while separate leaks point to additional AI tools in a future One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy S26.
