Samsung speeds up One UI 8 with Google’s method, promising faster updates – Mix Vale
Samsung announced a major shift in its One UI 8 development strategy, adopting Google’s Trunk Stable method to accelerate update releases. The change, already implemented in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, aims to reduce wait times for new features and align Samsung with Android 16’s update schedule. The decision addresses criticism over delays with One UI 7 and reflects the company’s commitment to delivering a smoother user experience. Vice President Sally Hyesoon Jeon leads the initiative, aiming to make Samsung as agile as Google in future updates.
The shift in development comes at a strategic time for Samsung, which seeks to strengthen its position in the mobile device market. The Trunk Stable method ensures new features are integrated stably, eliminating extra correction steps.
The new approach is already showing results, with One UI 8 available on devices launched in 2025, signaling a promising future for Samsung users.
The Trunk Stable method, adopted by Samsung for One UI 8, prioritizes system stability from the start of development. Unlike traditional approaches where features are built in separate branches and later integrated, Trunk Stable keeps all changes in a single, stable codebase. This reduces conflicts and speeds up update releases.
The technique, already used by Google for Android 16, allows APIs and features to be developed with locks that keep them hidden until finalized. Once ready, the locks are removed, releasing features without additional tweaks. Sally Hyesoon Jeon, Samsung’s Vice President, emphasized that the method is a key step toward matching Google’s agility.
The method also streamlines integration with the Android ecosystem, ensuring One UI 8 leverages Android 16’s innovations efficiently.
One UI 8, already available on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, showcases the potential of the new strategy. These devices, launched in 2025, received the update earlier than expected, surprising users and experts. The interface brings usability improvements, such as reorganized menus, new widgets, and optimizations for foldable screens.
Additionally, the DeX mode, which turns smartphones into desktops, gained attention with a free tool enabling reactivation on Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs. This tool allows users to restore the previously limited feature at no cost.
The swift rollout of One UI 8 also benefits older models. Samsung confirmed that devices like the Galaxy S24, S23, and A-series will receive the update in 2025, with a faster schedule than One UI 7.
The rapid delivery of One UI 8 strengthens Samsung’s competitiveness in the smartphone market.
Samsung faced significant criticism for delays in releasing One UI 7, based on Android 15. Users reported slow update rollouts, especially compared to Google’s record-time Android 15 launch. Adopting Trunk Stable for One UI 8 is a direct response to these complaints, showing Samsung’s commitment to improving efficiency.
The change also reflects a broader industry trend, where update speed is a competitive edge. Brands like Google and Apple have invested in agile processes, and Samsung is now following suit. Vice President Sally Hyesoon Jeon stated that the goal is to make Samsung a benchmark for fast, reliable updates.
The impact extends beyond smartphones. Tablets, wearables, and other Samsung ecosystem devices are expected to benefit from the new approach, with more frequent and integrated updates.
Samsung’s adoption of Trunk Stable not only accelerates One UI 8 but also strengthens the broader Android ecosystem. By aligning its development with Google’s, Samsung ensures its devices leverage Android 16’s innovations immediately. This includes improvements in security, performance, and integration with services like Google Play and Google Assistant.
The strategy may also inspire other manufacturers, such as Xiaomi and Oppo, to adopt similar methods. The result is a more unified Android market, with faster and more consistent updates for users.
The collaboration between Samsung and Google could also pave the way for exclusive features, such as deeper integrations between One UI and Google Pixel.
Samsung plans to expand the use of Trunk Stable for future One UI versions, including One UI 9, slated for 2026. The company is also investing in development teams to ensure the method is applied efficiently. Sally Hyesoon Jeon emphasized that the goal is to shrink the gap between Android’s release and One UI’s rollout to devices.
Additionally, Samsung is exploring ways to personalize the user experience without compromising speed. Features like dynamic themes, interface tweaks, and gaming optimizations will continue to set One UI apart, but with a faster delivery process.
The new strategy also includes extended support for older devices. Samsung promised up to seven years of updates for premium models, ensuring devices like the Galaxy S22 remain relevant longer.
The shift positions Samsung as a leader in Android innovation, with the potential to redefine the user experience.
