If you own the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge, you’ll be pleased to hear some exciting news. While you may currently be enjoying the features of your premium device, Samsung is diligently working on the next major software update. Recent reports have confirmed that the Android 16-based One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S25 Edge is officially in development.

This indicates that Samsung is preparing to introduce a fresh suite of features and enhancements for your smartphone. Samsung seems to be moving at a quicker pace with this update compared to One UI 7, having already laid the groundwork with the previous version. Users of the Galaxy S25 series have already gained access to the One UI 8 beta, showing that the new firmware is shaping up to feel more like the final version of One UI 7.

The focus now is on optimization and refinement, enhancing the overall user experience. Recent leaks of One UI 8 test ROMs for the Galaxy S25 Edge have emerged, identifiable by build numbers S937BXXU1BYF7/S937BOXM1BYF7/S937BXXU1BYF7. This suggests that the Galaxy S25 Edge will be among the first devices to receive the stable version of One UI 8, set to offer numerous enhancements that aim to make the experience smoother and more intuitive.

While Samsung has yet to confirm the rollout schedule for One UI 8, the company is still in the process of releasing One UI 7 to eligible devices. Most flagship models, as well as many mid-range devices, have already received this update. More details are expected to surface during the Unpacked event next July.

One UI 8 promises significant upgrades, including redesigned system apps, better split-screen multitasking, and quicker sharing options. Users will also benefit from advanced AI integrations, refined camera controls, and enhanced security features like the Secure Folder. Additionally, a new audio-sharing feature via Auracast will be introduced, along with overall performance improvements and UI refinements.
