Samsung has been on a roll with the release of stable One UI 8, expanding its availability to more of its devices every week. In the last couple of weeks, the company has pushed the stable Android 16 firmware to Galaxy S25, Z Fold 6, Flip 6, S24 series, and even the mid-range A56. Joining them now is the company’s 2023 flagship: the Galaxy S23 lineup.

Like before, Samsung has rolled out the stable EYI7 firmware for Galaxy S23 users enrolled in the One UI 8 beta program in South Korea. It may expand the OTA’s availability to S23 users on the beta program in other countries later today.

A wider stable release for the public should happen later in the week, though for carrier-locked units, the wait will likely be slightly longer.

In its home market, Galaxy S23 users on the One UI 8 beta are receiving a 469MB update to the stable build. Along with minor bug fixes, the firmware also includes the September security patch. You can download the EYI7 firmware on your Galaxy S23 from Settings > Software update > Download and install.

With One UI 8, the Galaxy S23 lineup gets all the improvements Google added to Android 16, along with Now Bar integration for more third-party apps and services. Samsung has also revamped several system apps, including the file manager, to better align with the visual style introduced in One UI 7.

Based on Samsung’s One UI 8 rollout so far, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 should be the next in line to get the stable update. The company is already running a One UI 8 beta program for them and pushed the second beta earlier this month.

Samsung proves it’s the king of Android updates with One UI 8

Samsung’s One UI 8 rollout pace has been impressive. Despite its official timeline suggesting a longer wait, the company delivered the Android 16 update to most of its recent flagship devices within a few weeks. In comparison, Android manufacturers like OnePlus, Oppo, and Xiaomi have yet to update their 2025 flagships to Android 16.
