One UI 8 is coming sooner than you think

Android 16 coming to Samsung phones this summer.
Samsung has revealed when One UI 8 could be set to launch, and it's probably sooner than you think.
With Google set to launch Android 16 earlier than expected in June, the onus is now on third-party manufacturers to come up with an Android 16-based UI update in a timely fashion.
It's not something that many have been too hot at under the current scheme of thing, so we're not expecting a universally speedy adaptation to Google's more urgent schedule.
Samsung, however, could be one of the first to jump.
