Samsung updates Galaxy Tab S8 with One UI 8

Samsung has released a new software update to the Galaxy Tab S8. It brings the much-awaited One UI 8.0 (Android 16), which offers a new user interface, as well as many new features.

Unfortunately, Samsung is currently offering it only in its home country, South Korea. That being said, we expect the brand to release the update in other regions in the next few days.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the update carries firmware version XB00XXU9EYJ4 and is 3,531.39MB in size (via Tarun Vats). Along with the new version of Android and One UI, the update also offers the September 2025 security patch, which fixes many security vulnerabilities.
