Samsung has announced One UI 8, its customized version of Android 16. The software is now available in beta for the Galaxy S25 series, with a final version debuting first on new Samsung foldable phones this summer, then rolling out to other Galaxy devices in the following months. One UI 8 includes a new Reminder app, designed to let you "manage all your reminders in one place". You can add items via voice, and "share a list of to-dos ... with the press of a button." The software also makes it easier to connect earbuds to Bluetooth Auracast audio streams via QR codes. Samsung has worked closely with Google to accelerate development and make "One UI 8 one of the first UI platforms to adopt Android 16."
