The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 could run One UI 8 out of the box
Samsung's next-gen foldables may be among the first devices to get Android 16.


- Recent rumors suggest that Samsung plans to release One UI 8 based on Android 16 much earlier than usual.
- A new report claims that the company’s next-gen foldables could run the new software release at launch.
Rumor has it that Samsung may compensate for the slow rollout of One UI 7 by releasing One UI 8 based on Android 16 much earlier than usual. Last month, an early One UI 8 build was spotted online, suggesting that the company had already started testing the software release for the Galaxy S25 series. Now, a new report claims that it could offer the new software release on its next-gen foldables at launch.
Samsung is expected to lift the covers off the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 this summer. We’ve already seen a few leaks about the foldable devices, suggesting that Samsung could offer some minor design and performance improvements on both models. The devices could also run One UI 8 based on Android 16 out of the box, according to insider info obtained by Sammobile.
