As per resources, Samsung is expected to bring its next-generation foldable smartphones including Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7.

For instance, One UI 6 debuted in October  2023 and One UI 7 got delayed and released on 7 April 2025. But as per reports, the upcoming One UI 8 might break this trend and get a early release.

The prior reporting suggests that the tech giant has already started internal testing for One UI 8. A tipster recently spotted the internal test build of the One UI 8 on company’s official server.
