Samsung is actively working to bring the big One UI 8 update to its older foldable phones, including the Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4.

Samsung is now trying out its new One UI 8 software on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 phones from 2022. This shows that Samsung is actively working to bring its latest big update to its older devices.

A person who shares insider information (a “tipster”) has seen early test versions of the One UI 8 software for Samsung’s 2022 foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4.

These test versions have specific codes, like F936BXXUAIG3 and F721BXXUAIG3. These codes tell us that Samsung has officially started working on this big new update.

Samsung is currently testing the new One UI 8 update on its foldable phones in India (like the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4). This means Indian users will likely get the update soon after it starts rolling out for older devices.

Samsung isn’t just updating foldables! One UI 8 is currently undergoing internal testing across a wide array of Galaxy phones, covering everything from mid-range models like the Galaxy A56 and A36, to top-tier devices such as the Galaxy S24 and S23 series, and even future releases like the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6.

Samsung launched the stable One UI 8 update with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. However, Samsung is also testing new features on the Galaxy S25 series with a Beta update.

After Samsung’s recent big event, we’re hearing more and more about next year’s best phones. The Galaxy S26 phones are still about six months away, but a new report shares a secret internal name and says the S26 Plus or Edge model will get a better camera.

A new report from Winfuture reveals Samsung’s internal codenames for the Galaxy S26 lineup: NPA1, NPA2, and NPA3 for the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra respectively. The report clarifies that “NPA” means “Next Paradigm.

The report specifically notes that the Galaxy S26 Plus or S26 Edge will feature a 50MP ultrawide camera, a notable step up for the series.

The 50MP ultrawide camera, which brought a new level of landscape photography to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is reportedly making its way to another variant in the next generation of Samsung phones.

Galaxy S26 Plus/Edge

The Galaxy S25 Plus and Edge feature a 12-megapixel sensor for the ultrawide camera. The 50-megapixel lens will offer better photos by capturing more details and colors. You can also expect 8K video recording at 30fps with an ultrawide camera.

“It looks like Samsung is changing things up for the Galaxy S26 series. Many reports say they’ll drop the ‘Plus’ model. The ‘Edge’ version is likely to step in and will come with improved cameras, possibly including a special zoom lens.

If Samsung combines the S26 Plus and Edge into one new phone, the S26 Edge might come with a special ‘Telephoto’ camera. This camera would be good for zooming in, offering a clear 10-megapixel picture with 3 times optical zoom.

Since the official announcement is more than half a year away, we can’t be sure these details are completely true. So, take these leaks lightly! We expect lots more interesting hints about the upcoming Galaxy phones to appear until Samsung’s next big event.
