Samsung’s One UI 8 is close to launching, and it’s shaping up to be one of the company’s most polished software updates yet. Rolling out first on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, the update blends new visuals, smarter AI tools, and more responsive system behavior.
One UI 8 launches with Galaxy foldable
Samsung will debut One UI 8 during its July event alongside its latest foldable devices. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 will be the first phones to ship with the update pre-installed, setting the tone for a staggered rollout across the Galaxy ecosystem.
Samsung's new One UI 7 update brings innovations that copy iPhone features. Here are the details!
New AI and personalization features
With One UI 8, Samsung leans harder into personalization and intelligence. Enhanced widgets, smarter photo suggestions, and better contextual search all make their way into the OS. Dynamic Effects adds motion to still photos, while Audio Eraser lets you remove background noise from videos.
Performance and interface improvements
Early testers report that animations are snappier, app launches feel faster, and the OS looks more refined. The Now Bar, which manages notifications and live activities, has been updated for clearer info and quicker control. Predictive back gestures now show a preview of where you’re headed before you swipe.
Five standout features in One UI 8
- Audio Eraser: Removes unwanted noise in video recordings
- Dynamic Effect: Animates still images with lifelike motion
- Updated Now Bar: Better notifications and multitasking
- Enhanced Quick Share: Easier file sharing across Galaxy devices
- Improved Secure Folder: More privacy options for apps and content
When to expect the full rollout
The stable release of One UI 8 is expected in phases starting this summer. Flagship Galaxy S devices will follow the foldable, with tablets and A-series models getting the update by early fall. Beta programs for select devices are already in progress.
One UI 8 is more than a facelift; it’s Samsung’s next big swing in merging form and function. If the early impressions hold, it could be the most user-focused update yet.
