An overview of Samsung’s One UI 8.0 stable update

After using the One UI 8.0 stable update on the Fold7 and Flip7, I thought I’d compile some of the more notable features and changes, along with any relevant insights. I'll update the thread if I find anything else.

Disclosure: These features were discovered and/or tested on a Fold7 and Flip7 on loan from Samsung. They did not have any editorial input, nor the chance to preview or approve the contents of this post.

Got the OnePlus 13 (Didn't like the S25 and Pixel lines)

A few days ago I had a thread here in which I explained that I'm moving back from an iPhone back to android (I switch every few years), and started with the pixel -loved the haptics but found the forced google widgets and the lack of modern software features like dynamic island and side bar too annoying for a premium phone.

Then I tried the S25plus and while it was good for what it was, it was also unbelievably disappointing to find out it can't match the Pixel with the haptics as it still fee...

"What if Android let you install drivers for accessories like earbuds, just like on Windows?

I had this idea and honestly… I don’t know why it’s not a thing yet.

What if Android let us install actual drivers for accessories like earbuds — the way Windows does for peripherals?

Imagine this:

You buy a pair of Nothing Ear (a)

A popup says “Install Nothing Driver for full support?”

You install it and boom:

Proper battery widget integration (with icons and case/buds %)

LHDC enabled automatically if your phone supports it

System-level controls for ANC, gestures, EQ, etc.

Samsung Care+ is a complete joke – Zero accountability, zero help, and endless misdirection

I’m beyond frustrated and feel completely let down by Samsung Care+. I’m a U.S.-based customer with a U.S. Samsung Care+ plan and a Galaxy Z Fold purchased in the States. The trim around the inner screen is peeling off — this is a clear manufacturer defect, not user damage. No drops, no cracks — just poor quality.

I submitted my claim along with the invoice (which clearly shows I’m in the U.S.) and instead of proper support, my case keeps getting misrouted to Samsung India...

Why does Android in particular, and operating systems in general, take more resources these days? What changed? What was added in particular?

I basically have multiple questions:
First and foremost, the most important one: Android used to take up a couple gigabytes less storage, what was added to it after Jelly Bean that got it from 5 GB or less to about 20 GB?

I would also like to know how Windows and Linux, for example Debian changed. Are there parallels?

But you can also restrict your answer to Android, this is the main one I would like to know....
