These include three phones: Galaxy A33, Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A73. These devices will no longer get Android updates with new features. However, these phones will continue to get minor software improvements and security updates like One UI 8.1.
When Will One UI 8 Be Released
Samsung has not yet announced the official date of One UI 8, but it has been made clear that this update can come in the summer i.e. between June to September. First of all, this update will be available in premium phones like Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Then it will come to the Galaxy S25 and S24 series phones, and after that it will be gradually rolled out in the mid-range Galaxy A series.
