Zuzuz, 09 May 2025Still waiting for 7 on many other devices I don't trust Samsung anymore. They can do so much in hardware and software front. But they are just getting lazy and complacent. I wish for their downfall soon.

One UI 7 battery life exposed the lack of the battery drain reminder settings hope it will get some love this time: it only 15% now while chinese brands give 20% some even more choices.

Very good! This is how the largest manufacturer of Android devices should act. The good should also be noted!
Let's hope that it will start acting adequately regarding hardware changes.

This is simply part of their usual strategy. Samsung is likely to roll out Android 16 with One UI 8 around April or May 2026, aiming to boost sales of the Galaxy S26 series. The current announcements are just a way to set expectations, so when the update finally arrives, it appears seamless and free from major issues. But mark my words—they’ll start implementing it by early April or May 2026 on the Galaxy S25 series and select older models. Compared to iOS, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and Xiaomi, Samsung is lagging behind in timely software updates. Their software support is currently at one of its weakest points.

MihaiRo, 09 May 2025I guess will look as a 7.1 and not a true 8 !Just marketing!😒
One UI 8 is based on Android 16. Meaning it also brings features from Android 16 aside from Samsung own features/refinements
If its is One UI 7.1 then It is still based on android 15 with no Android 16 features.

So funny when all you haters always end up being wrong
What happened tp Samsung being slow with Android 16 and On UI 8? See the difference when you dont do a massive overhaul for over 60 devices?
Chinese OEMS could never be on that level hahaah keep you paltry 4 years support but hey ho wow you got android 15 6 months early LMFAOO

Pumpino, 09 May 2025I don't think Samsung will make the same mistake again... moreYeah this is apparently just porting the exisitng One Ui 7 features over to Android 16, with a few minor teaks here and there. So hopefully things go smoother this time.
Seems Samsung is getting back on track mind, the May security patch is already live for several devices at least.
