Overview

  • Stable One UI 8 for the Galaxy S23 series is now live beyond Korea, with users confirming the update in Australia, Egypt, France, Germany, Iran, Malaysia, Spain, Turkey, and Ukraine, carrying build S91xBXXU8EYI5 and the September 2025 security patch.
  • Galaxy A34 and A54 have begun receiving One UI 8 in South Korea under firmware A346NKSUAEYI7 and A546SKSUCEYI5, with additional markets typically following after the initial seed.
  • The Galaxy A26’s Android 16 upgrade has expanded from Vietnam to Europe at 2,357MB with firmware A266BXXU4BYI2, marking the phone’s first major OS update since launch.
  • Samsung is accelerating updates for lower‑tier models, with the Galaxy M16 5G (Galaxy Wide 8) now updated to One UI 8 in Korea, arriving earlier than the original late‑October window.
  • One UI 8 adds a three‑app 50:25:25 multitasking layout now reaching Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra, while early internal One UI 8.5 builds show in‑development visual changes such as a customizable Quick Panel, redesigned stock apps, and subtle 3D‑style icons.
