Samsung has started improving the stability of its last year’s flagship Galaxy S24 phone with the new One UI 6.1 January 2025 update. This minor optimization in your Galaxy device will make it more reliable for daily smart operations and provide users with seamless functioning throughout.

It is good to see how the Korean phone maker keeps pushing out new updates to its flagship devices as they get ready for the next One UI 7 update. Yesterday, Samsung announced the One UI 7 update with the Galaxy S25 series.

According to the information, Galaxy S24 series users are receiving improved stability via the January 2025 update with version One UI 6.1 S92xBXXS5AYA1. This firmware brings a package of 300 Megagabytes. This update has already been released in the US, Korea, and Europe, and now it is being rolled out in batches for Indian users and will soon be available for all.

Samsung has confirmed that the One UI 8 rollout for Galaxy devices will begin in July 2025. Alongside the beta update for the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung is also internally testing the One UI 8 build for several Galaxy devices. New information suggests that the One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S22 series will be released soon after the stable rollout begins.

A reliable tipster has spotted a new One UI 8 build for the Galaxy S22 Ultra on the testing platform. The testing version, S908BXXUFGYG1, indicates that the Korean tech giant is actively working on next One UI for the Galaxy S22 series.

Additionally, some reports suggest that the Galaxy S22 series will not receive the One UI 8 beta update; instead, these devices will receive the stable update directly. The One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S22 series is expected to be released in October or November 2025.

Recently, Samsung confirmed the stable Android 16-based One UI 8 update rollout for older devices in July 2025. This update will first be available for the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Fold 6. Afterward, the company will roll out the update to more Galaxy devices.

Apart from that, there are notable changes in One UI 8, but they don’t make it a major upgrade, tagged along with the new Android version. The new update is still in the beta stage, and there are likely to be more tweaks and changes by the time the official update rollout begins.

Right now, Samsung’s One UI 8 beta program is only available to users of the Galaxy S25 series. Older Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S22 series, are not part of the public beta. Instead, the company is testing One UI 8 internally on several older models.
