Samsung is already deep into testing, with the Galaxy S25 running an early build of One UI 8.
The Galaxy S25 (with Snapdragon 8 Elite + 12GB RAM) was caught red-handed running One UI 8 (Android 16) in early Geekbench benchmarks.
Android 16 might arrive earlier than usual, possibly in June instead of late summer, and One UI 8 could launch shortly after.
Plenty of Galaxy fans are still twiddling their thumbs waiting for One UI 7 to hit their devices, but early signs hint that Samsung might speed up the release of its next big software update.
Samsung is already deep into developing Android 16 with its One UI 8 skin, as shown by recent benchmark data from the base Galaxy S25.
