Overview

  • On July 25, Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 globally with Android 16 and One UI 8 pre-installed.
  • Leaked details from UniverseIce confirm that future major One UI versions will debut on Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip devices alongside corresponding Android platform updates.
  • Galaxy S series flagships will no longer launch with new Android releases and will instead receive mid-cycle One UI x.5 updates featuring substantial UI and UX enhancements.
  • The policy change follows Google’s accelerated Android 16 rollout, which disrupted OEM update plans and contributed to delays in Samsung’s One UI 7 deployment earlier this year.
  • Many Galaxy S owners have voiced frustration over the perceived deprioritization of their devices under the staggered update strategy.
