Samsung is demonstrating its commitment to providing its users with the most up-to-date software experience in Turkey. The company has accelerated the rollout schedule for its highly anticipated Android 16-based next-generation interface, One UI 8, and has clarified its roadmap for a wide range of products, from flagships to mid-range devices, from tablets to smartwatches. The update rollout began with the Galaxy S25 series, and recently, the foldable phones Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 have also received the latest version.
Samsung’s update rollout in Turkey began with its latest flagship series, the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and Galaxy S25 Edge. Following this initial wave, the price-performance-focused Galaxy S24 FE and the popular mid-range representative Galaxy A56 5G also received Android 16. According to information on Samsung Turkey’s official “Are We Up to Date?” portal, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6, the most powerful foldable models, joined the bandwagon as of September 29th.
The final days of September will be busy. Before the month is out, the previous-generation flagships—the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra—and the beloved mid-range Galaxy A36 5G are also scheduled to receive the One UI 8 update. With this move, Samsung will update its top-tier models of the last two years.
