The stable Android 16 x One UI 8 update reaches more Galaxy devices. It was recently seen on the Galaxy S23 series in South Korea. The package has now gone international. Owners from Asia, Africa, and Europe report seeing the update on their S23 handsets.
The One UI 8 update has arrived on all three phones at once. You can look for the new firmware in the update center. Go to the Settings on your Galaxy S23 model and look for the Software Update section. Tap “Check for Update” to confirm availability.
The OTA package will take some time to arrive in Pakistan. Only the S23 users living in Australia, Egypt, France, Germany, Malaysia, Spain, Turkey, and Ukraine can grab the One UI 8 right now, according to the sources on the internet.
Its Changelog will reveal everything we need to know. But for the most part, this update is a full OS overhaul. It has a new Android 16 core and a reskinned UI. A September security patch has been added to it. That’s why the download package is so bulky at 3.3GB.
The firmware version is recognizable by the code S91xBXXU8EYI5 on the S23 Ultra. It may appear on your phone with almost a similar code. The update size may be a bit smaller for the Samsung latest latest flagship mobiles, S23 and S23 Plus. Changes, however, will be common across the board.
These phones get a new DeX version based on Android 16’s built-in desktop mode. We see a more fortified Secure Folder on the new firmware. Samsung redesigned its stock internet browser and also made a few changes to the quick share menu.
Reading the Changelog is paramount before you update the device, as this operation can’t be reversed. Hit the Download and Install button when you are fully committed and let the phone reboot to complete the installation. There are more devices on the list that may grab the update this month. So keep watching the news.
