One UI 8 Hands-On Video Teases Galaxy AI’s Expansion Beyond the S25 Series

A new hands-on video featuring One UI 8 has surfaced, giving an early look at what Samsung’s upcoming OS update might deliver. Based on Android 16, this early beta build suggests significant enhancements, including the broader rollout of Galaxy AI’s Now Brief feature. Originally introduced with the Galaxy S25 series earlier this year, Now Brief may soon become available on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and potentially more devices across Samsung’s lineup. Additionally, subtle updates to apps like File Manager and Gallery were also spotted in the footage.

Published by SamMobile, the hands-on video showcases One UI 8 running on a Galaxy Z Flip 6 unit. One of the standout observations is the integration of Now Brief, a feature that leverages Galaxy AI to provide users with personalized daily summaries. These briefings include content such as health stats, calendar events, news updates, traffic alerts, and travel recommendations, all neatly organized in an easy-to-scan card format. Its presence on the Z Flip 6 suggests Samsung’s plans to expand the feature’s reach beyond just the latest flagships.

Interestingly, hints of Now Brief’s broader availability had already surfaced earlier. Although it was not officially usable on other Galaxy devices running One UI 7, the necessary code for the feature was embedded in the system. Access to it remained restricted, but One UI 8 seems poised to change that. Samsung appears ready to activate Now Brief for a wider range of models, significantly enhancing the daily user experience through Galaxy AI.

While Samsung has not officially confirmed the full list of devices eligible for Now Brief with One UI 8, the early hands-on video paints an exciting picture for Galaxy users. Alongside AI-driven innovations, users can also expect smaller usability improvements across various apps, ensuring One UI 8 continues Samsung’s trend of combining smart functionality with thoughtful software refinements.

Samsung Delays One UI 7 Update for Certain Galaxy Phones, Now Expected in May or Later

Samsung’s rollout of the One UI 7 update for its devices has reportedly been delayed, with the update now expected to reach several Galaxy smartphones and tablets later than initially planned. After Samsung began rolling out the update in South Korea, the global release timeline for the Android 15-based OS has surfaced through claims made on social media. According to these reports, the update for devices like the Galaxy S23 series will likely be pushed back to May 2025, while some tablets, such as the Galaxy Tab S9 series, may not see the update until June or July.

The information came to light through a Reddit post by @The_TAM, who claims to have found the release schedule for One UI 7 within the Samsung Members app. A screenshot from the app’s notice section suggests that, despite the delays, the Galaxy S24 series, along with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, are still expected to receive the update in April. This aligns with previous reports that highlighted the S24 series as a priority for the initial rollout.

However, for other devices, the wait will be longer. The Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Tab S10 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are now slated for the update in May, with some models potentially receiving the update later. This delay also affects several popular mid-range and budget devices. According to the social media post, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, Galaxy A35 5G, Galaxy A55 5G, and several others in the Galaxy A, F, and M series might have to wait until June before the update arrives.

As Samsung adjusts its timeline for One UI 7, users of affected devices will need to be patient. While some flagship models will receive the update on schedule, many mid-tier and older devices will face delays. Samsung has yet to provide official confirmation on these revised dates, but the information from the Samsung Members app suggests that May and even June 2025 will be key months for One UI 7’s broader distribution across the Galaxy lineup.
