Android 16 Stable Update Is Here: Google lists many One UI 8 features for Samsung phones

Google released Android 16 stable update today, the earliest major update in years, starting with Pixel devices. Samsung users will wait longer for the update. Here’s what Android 16 offers and why Galaxy fans are on hold.
Stable Android 16 update brings a fresh design, better notifications, accessibility, security, and tablet features. Pixel users can dive in now, but Samsung fans must wait for One UI 8, which is set to debut with Galaxy Z7 series next month.
Android 16 introduces Material 3 Expressive design, making phones easier to use. It features a cleaner interface, smoother animations, and a unified look. Pixels get it first, while Samsung’s One UI will adapt it later.

Android 16 groups notifications from the same app to reduce clutter. Live updates for ride-share and food delivery apps, like Uber, keep you informed in real-time. Samsung’s Now Bar will support this soon.
Apart from this, for hearing aid users, Android 16 improves call clarity by using the phone’s microphone in noisy places. Native controls let you adjust hearing device settings, like volume, directly from your phone.
Android 16’s Advanced Protection offers top-tier security against online threats, harmful apps, and scam calls. Activate it with one tap for peace of mind, while Samsung users will wait for One UI integration.
Android 16 enhances tablets with desktop windowing, letting you resize and move app windows. Built with Samsung’s DeX, it arrives later this year. Custom keyboard shortcuts and taskbar overflow are also coming.
Android 16 includes HDR screenshots, adaptive refresh rates, and identity checks. More Material 3 updates will hit Pixel devices and Wear OS 6 later. Samsung’s Galaxy Watches running Wear OS will eventually benefit.
Samsung customizes Android with One UI, delaying updates for Galaxy devices. While Pixel users enjoy Android 16 now, Samsung’s rollout may take weeks or months, despite the early launch, which is highly likely in July.

Android 16 will finally let you adjust Flashlight Brightness from Quick Settings

Android 16 is set to integrate Flashlight Brightness controls. For years, Google Pixel owners have been waiting for this useful feature that fixes the dim brightness of the phone’s LED flashlight, making it a bit more practical.
Google seems to have developed a Flashlight Brightness slider for Pixel phones, which will be deployed with the next Android 16 update. Meanwhile, Google News channel on Telegram has just gave our first look at this torch upgrade.
Flashlight Strength
Smartphone cameras come with a tiny yet useful LED flashlight. Its primary use is to light up the scene in intense dark conditions like night. However, the flashlight can also be used as a torch to help the user in certain conditions.
The LED flashlight can be turned on using the phone’s Quick Settings. Beyond that, OEMs like Samsung and Apple brought a brightness slider for the flashlight. It lets you adjust the strength of the flashlight, be it lower or higher.
Google took over 8 years for this – Literally
Android 13 introduced API support, enabling app developers to create an intensity slider for a flashlight. Meanwhile, Google’s own Pixel phones have missed the strength slider feature, sticking to a default level of LED flash.
Google is set to end the wait of Pixel fans with Android 16. The main OS upgrade won’t bring it to devices, but it would be installed as part of a Feature Drop later. Though a bit late, Pixel users are getting the basic features they deserve.
Samsung phones have Torch Brightness feature way back since early 2017. The Galaxy S7 was one of the first devices to bring a flashlight slider. That said, Google took over 8 years to install this basic feature on its own Pixel phones.

Samsung phones will get Android 16’s flashy Live Updates with One UI 8 [Preview]

Google dropped some exciting news at I/O 2025, unveiling Android 16 and its slick new Live Updates feature, which is coming to Samsung phones with One UI 8 later this year.
Live Updates is all about showing ongoing activities on your lock screen, Always-On Display (AOD), notifications panel, or status bar. This feature is going to make your lock screen a lot more lively, coming with the One UI 8 update.
At I/O 2025, Google showed off a preview of Live Updates on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. For instance, imagine ordering food from Uber Eats and seeing the progress live: from the restaurant preparing the meal to the driver delivering at your door.
Beyond real-time updates, the Live Updates progress bar had five segments, each likely tied to a step in the delivery process, and there are handy buttons for calling, messaging, or tipping your driver right from the notification.
Google confirmed it’ll also work with navigation and ride-hailing apps. Google hinted that more app types could get support based on how developers use them. That said, it’s going to be a major upgrade over the Now Bar feature of One UI 7.
While we don’t have an exact release date for One UI 8, knowing Samsung’s track record, it’ll likely roll out around August or September. A Beta Program with massive procedure shifts is approaching Galaxy users, highly likely to launch in two weeks.
The company also teased that Live Updates will hit Galaxy Watches with a Wear OS update in late 2026. As a Samsung fan, I’m excited to see how the Android 16 Live Updates feature will make our phones and watches even more useful.
