The Galaxy S25 series will not be the only premium device to get an early One UI 8 update. Samsung has also started One UI 8 development for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 & Flip 6 foldable gadgets. The latest build for the next One UI has been spotted on the Samsung test servers. Thanks to the KeepUPwithOneUI leaker who first spotted and shared the new firmware build. The build number F956BXXU2CYC1 has been assigned to the Fold 6, and F741BXXU2CYC1 for the Flip 6 phone.
Interestingly, the build number for Galaxy S25 Ultra ends with BYC1, and the latest build number for foldable phones ends with CYC1, which is one build ahead. The letters B and C in the fourth position have been given to the major One UI updates. It has been reserved for the second and third major One UI updates. Till last month, the tipster believed there could be One UI 7.1 & One UI 7.1.1 firmware later this year, but the new leaker has a different story to tell.
The Ice Universe tipped that Samsung won’t be delivering any other One UI updates based on the current One UI 7 version. This means that all the devices this year will be promoted to Android 16-based One UI 8 software. The announcement date is not available, but it could be revealed in the next Galaxy Unpacked event along with Galaxy Z Fold 7 & Flip 7. After Galaxy S25, the new software will be assigned to Galaxy S24, Fold 6, Flip 6, Galaxy A56, Tab S10, and other supported Galaxy gadgets.
