What\u2019s new in Android 16 on Samsung Galaxy?<\/p>\n
Android 16 ushers in a new design style on Pixel devices with Google\u2019s Material 3 Expressive<\/a>, but the update isn\u2019t quite as major on Samsung Galaxy devices. That\u2019s largely because One UI 7 just recently delivered an overhaul to Samsung\u2019s style, so One UI 8 is mostly a function update with some new features and refinements.<\/p>\n What\u2019s new?<\/p>\n Some standouts include:<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n Those are just a few of the new features, but overall One UI 8 will feel pretty familiar to One UI 7.<\/p>\n Samsung Galaxy devices with Android 16 \u2013 The full list<\/p>\n Samsung started the stable rollout of One UI 8, based on Android 16, on September 15, 2025.
