These Galaxy A phones might be eligible for the One UI 8 update

Android 16 and One UI 8 might still be a few months away, but we’re already getting a sneak peek at which Samsung phones are expected to make the cut. While flagship devices usually get first dibs on major updates, it looks like Samsung isn’t leaving its mid-range and budget phones behind this time.

According to a new leak, a surprisingly broad list of Galaxy A-series devices will be eligible for the Samsung Android 16 update running One UI 8. And it’s not just the latest models, either. We’re talking everything from the top-tier Galaxy A73 to the affordable Galaxy A06.

Here’s the full list of expected devices:

• Galaxy A73

• Galaxy A56

• Galaxy A55

• Galaxy A54

• Galaxy A53

• Galaxy A36

• Galaxy A35

• Galaxy A34

• Galaxy A33

• Galaxy A25

• Galaxy A24

• Galaxy A23

• Galaxy A15 (LTE and 5G)

• Galaxy A14 (LTE and 5G)

• Galaxy A16 (LTE and 5G)

• Galaxy A06

For those keeping score, that’s a pretty big lineup. Phone makers usually focus on flagships when pushing major OS updates, so it’s refreshing to see Samsung continuing to support even its entry-level A-series models. It’s part of a broader effort by the company to offer longer software support—something that used to be rare in the Android world.

If you’ve got one of these A-series phones, it looks like you won’t be left out of the Android 16 party. Just keep in mind that the rollout might be staggered depending on your region and carrier.
