Samsung has recently introduced One UI 8 with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7, marking these foldable devices as the first to receive the latest operating system version. This move suggests a potential shift in Samsung’s strategy for software updates, focusing on foldables. According to a well-known leakster, Samsung plans to align major One UI updates with Google’s Android releases, meaning future Z Fold models will launch with the latest Android versions. For instance, the next Z Fold might debut with One UI 9 based on Android 17. This strategy raises questions about the flagship Galaxy S lineup, which traditionally received the stable One UI updates first. However, it is reported that Galaxy S phones will receive updates to the One UI X.5 version, which will include more substantial content such as updated UI designs and AI features. The extended development timeline for these updates aims to ensure a more refined experience for users.
