Samsung has officially confirmed July 9, 2025, as the launch date for its next-generation Galaxy foldables—the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7—which will debut alongside One UI 8, built on Android 16. This shows a significant milestone for Samsung’s software ecosystem, as these devices will be the first to ship with the company’s most advanced interface to date.
Since its introduction in 2018, One UI has established itself as Samsung’s signature Android experience, refined through years of collaboration with Google. The platform has consistently focused on delivering intuitive navigation and enhanced usability across Samsung’s diverse device portfolio. One UI 8 continues this tradition while introducing substantial improvements in artificial intelligence integration, promising to streamline daily tasks and boost overall device performance.
Samsung launched the One UI 8 Beta program on May 28, 2025, initially targeting users in South Korea, the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany. The program began with the Galaxy S25 series—including the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra.
