Smartphones and tablets that will get One UI 8: Samsung has unveiled a list of compatible devices for the global market
Yesterday, Samsung officially launched the rollout of the One UI 8 firmware based on Android 16.
We already published a list of compatible devices, but it was focused on South Korea. Shortly after, the company published a new list aimed at the global market.
Here's What We Know
The global list published on the international version of Samsung's website includes more than 50 models. In general, the list is not radically different from the previous one, the main difference is that it does not contain regional models, but added global versions, which were not in the Korean list.
The first series to receive the update are the flagship Galaxy S25 smartphones, including the S25, S25+, S25 Ultra and S25 Edge models.
