Samsung is moving quickly to prepare its next-generation software update. The company’s latest custom Android skin, One UI 8, based on Android 16, is already available in beta for the Galaxy S25 series in select markets. However, it will still take time for older and mid-range Galaxy devices to get the update.
One of the smartphones expected to receive One UI 8 is the Galaxy A55. Recent leaks suggest the device could get the stable build by the end of 2025.
