Samsung’s latest custom Android skin, One UI 8, which is based on Android 16, is currently available to the Galaxy S25 series in select markets through the beta program, and it will be a while before older, lower-end Galaxy devices get a taste of it. One of the Samsung smartphones eligible for One UI 8 is the Galaxy A55, which could receive the stable build by the end of 2025.

We say so because the Samsung Galaxy A55, bearing model code SM-A556E, has been spotted on Geekbench running Android 16, suggesting Samsung has started working on One UI 8 for this Exynos 1480-powered smartphone.

We expect Samsung to open the One UI 8 beta program for the Galaxy A55 in the next few months, with the stable build released before 2026. Until then, you’ll have to use your Samsung Galaxy A55 with One UI 7 based on Android 15.
