Samsung has begun to
roll out its new build of
One UI 8 for the Galaxy S24
FE. This comes after the firm pushed the same update to the S24, S24+, and
S24
Ultra. The new build is based on Android 16 and is now live for some users.
Update Availability
The first wave of this push is in Europe and Iran. The build tags are
S721BXXU7CYI5, S721BOXM7CYI5, and S721BOJM7CYI5 and bundle the September 2025
security patch.
The update file is just over 3GB in size, so ensure that you have enough
data or Wi-Fi as well as decent storage space.
What’s Included
One UI 8 is Samsung’s take on
Android 16, bringing both Google’s latest
system upgrades and Samsung’s own improvements.
While the company hasn’t
released an exhaustive changelog for the S24 FE specifically, users can expect
the same visual polish, smoother animations, and new customisation tools that
rolled out to the other Galaxy S24 models.
The update is expected to come with
the latest security fixes and performance optimisation, making it safe and
secure.
How to Update
The update hasn’t gotten to all
Galaxy S24 FE owners just yet, as it may
take a few days. But if you’re tired of waiting, there’s an option to check
manually.
- Go to Settings
- Scroll down and click on Software update
- Click on 'Download and install' to check if One UI 8 is available for your
phone.
A Consistent Rollout
Samsung has been moving quickly with One UI 8 compared to past major
updates.
By starting with its premium S24 line and now introducing the S24 FE, the company demonstrates its intention to keep all users on the latest version as soon as possible.
Given Samsung’s track record, other Galaxy devices are expected to join the rollout in the weeks ahead.
Looking Ahead
The S24 FE is the budget model of the S24 range. Early access to One UI 8 makes it more of a smart buy.
With Android 16 at its core, plus Samsung’s extra
features layered on top, the phone is better prepared to handle new apps,
tighter security, and a cleaner user experience.
For now, users in Europe and Iran are the first to enjoy the new software.
Other regions are expected to follow soon.
