Samsung’s current One UI 8 update schedule is super-ambitious, but can it be pulled off?

Here’s when your device is likely to get Android 16

I hope you didn’t try to read that whole list in one breath, but if you did, be sure to sit down, have a sip of water, and don’t try to operate any heavy machinery until you catch your breath again. 

Basically, if you bought (almost) any Galaxy device, be it low, mid, or high-end, in the last two or three years, you can expect (or at least hope for) an update to the latest Android version (with the latest proprietary One UI enhancements added on top) to take place over the next two months or so.

Will Samsung pull it all off?

That, my dear friends and readers, is the million-dollar question no one can answer at the moment, with recent history not exactly being on Samsung’s side or making me very optimistic.

Is One UI 8 that big of a deal?

So, yes, if you ask me, you should absolutely treat the impending arrival of One UI 8 as a big deal, and rejoice if Samsung does manage to deliver dozens and dozens of these updates in October and November.
