Galaxy S25 Android 16

Galaxy S25 benchmarks with the phone running Android 16 have been discovered on the Geekbench website. Meanwhile, old devices are still waiting for the One UI 7 version, which will roll out on April 7, starting with the Galaxy S24 series.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra with Android 16-based One UI 8 firmware was spotted on Samsung’s servers three weeks ago. In this development, the S25 model now appears on Geekbench with the new Android 16 software update. Notably, Samsung started the development of One UI 8 (Android 16) two months earlier than usual.

According to the listing details spotted by @tarunvats33, the Samsung Galaxy S25 was spotted running Android 16 with One UI 8 on GeekBench. Moreover, it achieved 3135 points in the single-core test and 9938 points in the multi-core test.

Samsung introduced the Galaxy S25 series in January 2025 with Android 15-based One UI 7.0 preinstalled. Also, One UI 8, along with Android 16, will be the first major upgrade for the new device out of seven Android OS updates.

Moreover, there were also rumors that the One UI 8 would not be delayed like the One UI 7. On the other hand, the company has yet to start the stable One UI 7 rollout, and the company has only confirmed that the distribution is set to begin on April 07, 2025.

On the other hand, Samsung revealed earlier this year that One UI 7 requires long-term planning and testing as it brings several changes to the software experience on Galaxy smartphones. Hence, One UI 8 is likely to be a relatively small update and, hence, will have a shorter development period.

One UI 8 Galaxy M36

Samsung Galaxy users won’t have to wait long for the One UI 8 update. The company has just started testing Android 16-based One UI 8 on some of its budget models, which is the first step towards rolling out the software update. Now, Samsung has also begun internal testing of One UI 8 on two of its mid-range Galaxy smartphones, the Galaxy F34 and Galaxy M36.

X user Mohammad Khatri spotted internal One UI 8 builds for the Galaxy F34 and Galaxy M36. This development brings these two mid-range phones on par with newer models like the Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, Galaxy A55, Galaxy A35, Galaxy A54, and Galaxy A34.

For the Samsung Galaxy F34 and Galaxy M36, the One UI 8 builds carry version numbers E346BXXU7EYG7 and M366BXXU1BYG2, respectively. Note that it isn’t the latest build that the Korean tech giant will deliver as part of its official update rollout.

The One UI 8 beta program that started in May this year is still exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series. Don’t expect this beta program to reach non-flagship devices, as the firm has no plans for recent flagship phones either.

The firmware listing does not guarantee an early rollout of the update. It is the first step towards an OTA release on suitable models. You can expect a rollout roadmap from the company, which will be available in the Members app.
