What the Update Brings & Considerations

Key Features & Enhancements

• The new update is based on Android 16, integrating Galaxy AI and bringing deeper AI-driven functionalities to devices.
• Samsung describes a “multimodal AI” experience where the UI adapts more intelligently across visual, auditory, and contextual inputs.
• The rollout is not uniform: some device models may receive the update “slightly earlier or later” depending on local testing and quality checks.

Risks & Delays

• Although the schedule is published, unforeseen bugs or regional carrier testing may delay rollout for specific models.
• Devices not listed in the schedule may not receive One UI 8, depending on Samsung’s hardware support policy.

How to Check and Get One UI 8

1. Go to Settings → Software update → Download & install
2. Make sure your device is connected to stable Wi-Fi and sufficiently charged (≥ 50%)
3. Be patient: updates typically roll out first in batches across regions

Samsung’s Indian support page now also lists the One UI Software Update section, where eligible models and update status can be checked.

Samsung’s One UI 8 rollout for India begins with the Galaxy S25 series in September 2025, expands widely in October, and concludes for remaining devices in November. This phased approach ensures broad coverage, but rollout timing may vary by model and region. Galaxy users should monitor updates in Settings and Samsung’s official communication channels.
