Samsung is expanding its One UI 8 stable update to more phones, bringing the Android 16-based software to seven new models. The move comes shortly after the Galaxy XCover7 got the update last week, showing how quickly Samsung is bringing the new features to more users.

Expanding to Rugged and A-Series Phones

The update has now reached the tough Galaxy XCover7 Pro, starting with firmware version BYI6 in South Korea. The rollout is expected to spread to other regions soon as Samsung continues its steady software push. Users in other markets should expect the rollout to commence shortly.

The popular mid-range Galaxy A-series is also part of this wave. Both the Galaxy A33 and Galaxy A53 are receiving the new software in South Korea, with firmware versions GYI3 and GYI2, respectively. This signifies a commitment to updating key devices in the A-series lineup promptly.

M-Series and Regional Variants Also Updated

Two other major mid-range models, the Galaxy M34 and the Galaxy M35, are getting the One UI 8 update in the Indian market. The firmware versions for these devices are M346BXXU8EYI8 for the M34 and M356BXXU5CY18 for the M35. This focused regional launch suggests a strong push in important emerging markets.

The update also covers devices known by different names across regions. The Samsung Galaxy Wide 7, which is marketed as the Galaxy M15 in countries outside South Korea, is receiving the CYI6 firmware. Likewise, the Galaxy Quantum 3, sold globally as the Galaxy M53, is now getting the update in South Korea with firmware version GYI4.
