Samsung has commenced the stable rollout of its One UI 8.0 update for the Galaxy S25 series in South Korea, reinforcing its position as a leader in timely software distribution. With a global launch on the horizon, Samsung has released a comprehensive roadmap detailing when other Galaxy models across both mobile and tablet lines are slated to receive the update. Some customers, especially those with previous-generation flagships, may be less than thrilled with the outlined schedule.
