Samsung has started rolling out its Android 16 update to Galaxy phones and tablets, with a schedule running through November at least. Here’s when to expect the update on your Galaxy device, and which devices are already eligible for the update.

Android 16 ushers in a new design style on Pixel devices with Google’s Material 3 Expressive, but the update isn’t quite as major on Samsung Galaxy devices. That’s largely because One UI 7 just recently delivered an overhaul to Samsung’s style, so One UI 8 is mostly a function update with some new features and refinements.
