It became known that Samsung will expand the introduction of the branded One UI 8 firmware based on Android 16 and on budget models, and not just for flagships.
So, in the lists of models that will receive One UI 8, Galaxy F34 and Galaxy M36 appeared – one of the most affordable Samsung smartphones. In addition, the Galaxy M36 has already lit up in the Geekbench test with the installed Android 16 OS, which indicates the high probability of a speedy output of the stable shell for these devices. Unlike the flagship models that participate in a public beta program, budget models are expected to immediately receive a stable update-this is a standard Samsung practice.
On these smartphones there will be an improved “smart” translator in real time Live Translate, a visual search tool Circle to Search, as well as an updated visual style and more smooth animation. According to rumors, the launch of One UI 8 should take place in August.
There is also information that budget models will receive up to six large Android updates.
