Samsung Accelerates One UI 8 Rollout on New Galaxy Z Devices with Trunk Stable Model
Samsung has significantly sped up its software update process, enabling the rapid deployment of the Android 16-based One UI 8 on its newly launched Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip devices this month. This swift turnaround, just one month after Android 16’s public release in June, marks a major improvement for Samsung users.
The key to this accelerated schedule lies in Samsung’s adoption of Google’s innovative “Trunk Stable” development model. Traditionally, Android development involved complex, time-consuming branch merges that often led to conflicts and delays. With the Trunk Stable approach, all development occurs on a single, continuously stable codebase, with new features hidden behind ‘feature flags’ until ready for launch.
This streamlined method, which Google credits for its own quicker Android 16 launch, has now been embraced by Samsung for its One UI development. Samsung officials confirmed during a recent media roundtable that the company is committed to matching Google’s release cadence moving forward, aiming to deliver the latest Android versions to Galaxy devices faster than ever before. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are the first devices to launch directly with Android 16 and One UI 8 out of the box, showcasing the immediate benefits of this strategic shift.
