Samsung Galaxy A52s is not eligible for the One UI 8 update

Recently, there has been some leaked information regarding the alleged roadmap for the One UI 8 update for Galaxy smartphones, and it originated from what the official Samsung Turkish website, called Güncel Miyiz, had claimed. While creating our own article about the tentative Samsung Türkiye schedule for One UI 8 update for their devices, we only took a snapshot of the info that the above source said.

However, there have been some news that posted the exact same timeline that the above source provided, but with additional devices that are not eligible for One UI 8.0, and one of those devices is the Galaxy A52s.

To recap, the Galaxy A52s was released with three generations of OS updates on September 1st, 2021, before the longevity plan, which allowed four generations of OS updates, had materialized. The Galaxy A52s was released with Android 11 and One UI 3.1, and it received three updates, with the latest being One UI 6.1 and Android 14. Since then, this device didn’t receive the One UI 7.0 update. Several devices, such as the A04 series (A04e, A04, and A04s), A13 5G, and the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, didn’t receive One UI 7.0.

So, how can you say that the Galaxy A52s is going to receive the One UI 8.0 update on October 13th when it didn’t even get One UI 7.0?

According to the latest firmware information, there have been no builds that pertain to One UI 7.0 and One UI 8.0, and this already confirms that the Galaxy A52s is not eligible for the update. In fact, this device is still supported in the quarterly security patch cadence (testing is currently at A528NKSS7GYI1 and A528BXXSBGYI1) as an enterprise model, but is on the verge of being unsupported soon as it is a 2021 device. Please know that Samsung doesn’t skip a One UI version for software updates (except for x.x.1 version series), and that the Galaxy A52s is not going to skip One UI 7.0 for One UI 8.0.

The original source, Güncel Miyiz, even claimed that this device is not going to be updated for One UI 8.0, as the “Current Operating System” claims that this device has One UI 6.1 with Android 14, and that no OS updates have been planned.

So, the short answer is that the Galaxy A52s is not going to receive the One UI 8.0 update, as some leaks claim otherwise.
