Samsung's Android 16 Beta Update Could Rollout Soon: Expected Features And Phones Supported
Last Updated: Samsung is looking to fix the issues faced with the One UI 7 update last year and plans to bring the Android 16 version much earlier in 2025. Samsung has been slow with the Android 15-based One UI 7 rollout this year but the company is looking to amends with the Android 16 update. Reports in South Korea claim Samsung is ready to start the Android 16 beta program which will give us a closer look at the One UI 8 version. The company has already confirmed the Android 16 rollout timeline for its users and unlike the One UI 7, the new version will be rolling out by Summer 2025. Samsung's head of smartphone planning, Minseok Kang has announced that the Android 16 based will be coming out this Summer which means anywhere between June 2025 to September this year. The Samsung Members app in South Korea has added a new tab which lets the Galaxy phone users sign up for the beta program once the banner is enabled soon. The company is looking to fix the issues that plagued its One UI 7 rollout, probably because this was one of the bigger upgrades for the brand which made the UI overhauls significant as well as time consuming. Earlier this month Google confirmed that Android 16 release will happen as early as June, which is the fastest new version update we have seen from the tech giant. Google has usually used the Pixel launch event to announce the new Android version roll out which happens around October. Now, we wait to see if Samsung is able to expedite its rollout this year.

Samsung One UI 8 Update Confirmed For This Year: Know When Galaxy Phones Will Get It
Last Updated: Samsung's Android 16 update could be rolling out a lot earlier than the One UI 7 which was delayed multiple times. Google has announced the Android 16 roll out plans in the next few months, and now Samsung is joining the gang with some happy news for its Galaxy phone users. The One UI 8 version is unlikely to face the issues that Samsung faced with the Android 15-based One UI update this year. The company was part of the Android Show earlier this week, where in the device showcase section, it announced the One UI 8 release timeline for its users. Samsung One UI 8 Update Coming Soon: Know More Samsung's head of smartphone planning, Minseok Kang has announced that the Android 16 based will be coming out this Summer which means anywhere between June 2025 to September this year. Granted, these timelines are not written in stone and going by the last roll out schedule, Samsung could easily tweak its roadmap. Having said that, the One UI 7 update was one of the biggest overhauls at the company which somehow explains the delay in the last 8 months or so. The One UI 8 version is likely to see incremental changes and mostly related to the Android 16 features, so Samsung should have an easier time to release it quickly. We are hoping that the brand is able to keep its promise this year and live up to its 7 OS upgrade claim for its users. The first Android 16 beta should be available before end of May if the company is going to fulfill its public release timeline. But it seems last year's Pixel 9 series launch in August was not an anomaly, which explains the Android 16 release timeline pushed forward to June this year.

realme's latest concept GT 7 with a 10,000 mAh battery is a power bank killer smartphone
On Tuesday, realme unveiled its latest concept phone, which could become the world's first mainstream smartphone with a massive 10,000 mAh battery—almost equivalent to a medium-sized power bank. Despite packing a large 10,000 mAh battery, the phone has a slim profile and measures less than 8.5mm in thickness. Not just that, the device also weighs well under 200 grams, according to the company. The gateway to unstoppable power is unlocking. #realmeGT7Series Step in, if you're ready for the #PowerThatNeverStops. Know More: #2025FlagshipKiller — realme (@realmeIndia) May 5, 2025 The phone features a semi-transparent back panel, offering users a glimpse of the technology inside. Based on the images shared by the company, the concept phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. It runs on the latest Android 15-based realme UI 4. The smartphone seems to have a quad-curved display, possibly with a 120Hz refresh and FHD+ resolution. Do note that this is just a concept phone, and the specifications of the commercial product may vary. Considering the recent trend of mid-range smartphones with massive batteries like the iQOO Z10 (review), the upcoming realme GT 7 series phone with a 10,000 mAh battery is likely to fall in the mid-range segment. Enabling this innovation is an ultra-high silicon-content anode battery with an energy density of 887 Wh/L. To accommodate this new battery, realme has introduced a Mini Diamond Architecture, which reshapes the phone's internals to make space for the battery. This design is the result of over 60 international patents. A phone featuring a 10,000 mAh battery will soon launch in India under the GT 7 branding. It is expected to offer multiple days of battery life on a single charge and is also likely to support fast charging technology to quickly refill the massive battery. When it comes to smartphone battery and charging technology, realme has consistently been at the forefront. The company has already showcased innovations such as 320W concept charging and has delivered 240W and 150W charging on devices like the GT Neo 3 and GT 3, respectively.
