Samsung is reportedly shifting its One UI update strategy, to give priority to the foldables

GSM Arena26-07-2025
After Samsung didn't handle the One UI 7 update very well, everyone thought the surprising One UI 8 release, based on the still-unreleased Android 16 with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, was just some sort of redemption. However, it seems that it's actually the start of a new update strategy.
According to the renowned tipster Ice Universe, Samsung will continue prioritizing its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip phones when it comes to software updates. So from now on, the Galaxy foldables will launch with the latest Android version out of the box, while the Galaxy S series will receive an incremental One UI update.
On the other hand, Samsung may be prioritizing its flagship Galaxy S lineup in a way by polishing the user experience with each new software version before installing it on its S series. Although the foldables will be the first to receive the new UI designs, AI features, and software enhancements, the Galaxy S family will get a more stable and refined version of the software.

A seriously good Galaxy Watch 8 bundle is now available at Amazon, but only for a limited time

Are you a fan of bundle offers? Well, you should definitely check out Amazon's latest bundle promo then, especially if you're looking for a new Galaxy Watch. Right now, the e-commerce giant lets you grab the latest 40mm Galaxy Watch 8 and not one, not two, but four SmartTag 2 trackers for $100 off. $100 off (22%) Right now, you can get the Galaxy Watch 8 with four SmartTag 2 trackers for $100 off. There are two White trackers and two Black ones in the bundle. This is the 40mm version of the smartwatch, and it only supports Wi-Fi connectivity. Save big while it lasts. Buy at Amazon $40 off (16%) Alternatively, you can buy the Galaxy Watch 7 with a 40mm case. The promo is available on both the Cream and the Green models, and it'll only remain live for a limited time. Buy at Amazon In case you're wondering, you'd normally have to cough up $450 for this bundle, but it can now be yours for about $350. That's a pretty solid promo, however you look at it. Be sure to hurry up, as it won't remain live for long. Don't really need help finding your gadgets all the time? In that case, you might not need the free SmartTag 2 trackers. Fortunately, we also found a Galaxy Watch 7 promo at Amazon — the 40mm variant with Wi-Fi connectivity is 16% off right now, which knocks it just under the $210 mark. Packing a supremely lightweight, upgraded design, the smaller Galaxy Watch 8 is super comfortable to wear all the time. It's also packed with advanced features, including dual-band GPS, highly accurate heart rate measurements, and detailed sleep tracking. Of course, plenty of workout features are on deck. As we noted in our Galaxy Watch 8 review, this fella does a great job of detecting when you're cycling or walking. Beyond automatic tracking, it includes a running coach and supports a wide range of activities to help you stay on top of your fitness goals. What about battery life? Truth be told, it's not that impressive. Basically, if you frequently interact with your Samsung timepiece, you'll probably have to charge it every single day. If that's a dealbreaker, you can always consider the latest OnePlus Watch 3 or a Garmin watch, which are well-known for their multi-day endurance. But if you're after a high-class Wear OS device and don't mind grabbing four SmartTag 2 trackers completely free of charge, definitely check out Amazon's promo. Just keep in mind that this $100 discount will probably expire soon, so you might want to hurry up.
