While the first wave of updates for the listed devices has started in South Korea, Indian users of models like the Galaxy A53 and M35 can expect the update to arrive soon.
Samsung’s decision to push One UI 8 earlier than expected follows a noticeable shift in its software strategy. After One UI 7 faced delays, the company seems intent on tightening update timelines for both flagships and mid-tier devices; a welcome move for users who’ve often waited months for major OS updates.
What to expect and how to install
One UI 8, built on Android 16, refines Samsung’s design language while improving battery optimisation, AI-based photo editing, and system-wide responsiveness. The interface feels smoother, animations are tighter, and overall app performance has received a minor but perceptible boost. You can check some of the coolest new features in the video below.
If your Galaxy phone is eligible, installing the update is simple:
Step 1: Open Settings
Step 2: Tap Software update
Step 3: Select Download and install
Step 4: Wait for the process to complete and restart your device

For most mid-range users, though, One UI 8 feels like a new lease of life. Will you be updating your Samsung phone to One UI 8 soon? Let us know in the comments below.
