- Samsung is still trying to roll out Android 15-based One UI 7 to its devices, but screenshots of Android 16-based One UI 8 have already leaked.
- The UI in these leaked screenshots looks very similar to the previous OS release, with only minor refreshes seen in apps like Gallery and File Manager.
- More importantly, however, the Galaxy S25-exclusive “Now Brief” feature could be coming to older models via the new update.
Samsung is having a very rocky One UI 7 rollout. The latest reports suggest that the rollout has been halted worldwide due to bugs. While users keep waiting for the stable Android 15-based update to land on their phone, the rumor mill for Android 16-based One UI 8 is working in full swing. Alleged One UI 8 screenshots have now appeared online, purportedly from a leaked internal build.
Smartprix claims to have obtained images showing One UI 8 in its “early alpha” stage on a Galaxy Z Fold 6 unit. We cannot judge the veracity of these images, so take them with a pinch of salt.
