Rolling Out to Mid-Range Marvels
Samsung is ushering in October with exciting news for its mid-range smartphone users. The tech giant has begun deploying the One UI 8 update to several devices, extending support beyond the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A16 to now include the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A54.
First Stop: South Korea
As with many Samsung updates, South Korea is the first region to receive the One UI 8 rollout. However, Samsung plans to expand availability to other global markets within the coming days. Users around the world can expect to see the update notification soon.
Update Sizes May Vary
For Galaxy A54 users, the size of the update depends on whether they participated in the One UI 8 beta program. Those who joined the beta phase may experience a smaller, incremental update, while others may receive the full package.
Firmware Details
- Galaxy A54: Firmware version A546SKSUCEYI5

This simple process ensures devices are up-to-date with Samsung’s latest software experience.
What’s New in One UI 8?
While One UI 8 might not be as groundbreaking as its predecessor, One UI 7, it still brings a host of valuable enhancements. Users can expect refined UI elements, smoother animations, improved stability, and updated Samsung apps. These subtle but meaningful improvements collectively enhance the overall user experience.
Samsung has also shared a detailed changelog and a video walkthrough to help users explore what’s new. (Note: Not every feature listed in the changelog may be available on all models.)
