July 2025 is near, and Samsung is regularly working to release One UI 8 Beta 3 for the Galaxy S25 series. Meanwhile, Samsung is also testing One UI 8 for other Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy A55. Recently, new information has surfaced showing that Samsung is moving forward with testing One UI 8 for another Galaxy A series phone.

According to the tipster, the Samsung Galaxy A55 with SM-A556E and Android 16-based One UI 8 has scored impressively on the benchmark, with a single-core score of 1150 and a multi-core score of 3417. These scores suggest the A55 will offer amazing performance to handle everyday tasks and multitask easily.

These builds suggest that Samsung is actively working on bringing One UI 8 to this model.

One UI 8 update will mark the start of a new software upgrade cycle for Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy A55 smartphone. Notably, the Korean tech giant promises to provide four major Android updates to the Galaxy A55, so users can expect the phone to stay up-to-date with the latest features for several years.

Samsung is already testing this software on several devices. Earlier, the Galaxy A56 was spotted on Samsung’s servers with One UI 8, and now the A55 is joining the online benchmark Geekbench. This shows that the company is regularly working on the development of the next version of the One UI skin.

It’s possible that some Galaxy A55 users could get to try Android 16 early through a beta program, but this hasn’t been confirmed yet. Samsung will likely release the beta first for the latest A series models like the Galaxy A56, and other mid-range devices could get a chance to try new features later.

Stay tuned for more information as the One UI 8 Beta update is reportedly going to be released this week.

Samsung has started expanding One UI 8 Beta to Galaxy S25 devices, allowing users to enjoy new features and enhancements ahead of an official release. Meanwhile, the company is also rolling out the June 2025 security update for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 smartphones.

Samsung’s June 2025 security update for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 is currently available in Europe, and the company will expand it soon to more countries. The fresh update installs the latest Android security patch released in June 2025 to improve system security.

June 2025 security update for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 can be identified via One UI build version F731BXXS5EYF1 and F946BXXS5EYF1, respectively. It is an initial rollout, so it may take some hours or days to reach all models.

It is worth noting that this update is based on Android 15 and One UI 7. Users of these devices will get the One UI 8 update in the coming months. Samsung has not confirmed these smartphones for beta, so it is possible that users may get the stable update directly.
