When Will My Phone Get Android 16?

Google officially revealed Android 16 on 13 May 2025, and big changes are on the way for Android.

A new ‘Material 3 Expressive’ design, redesigned apps, and new customisation options are just a few of the ways in which Android 16 will change your phone . However, with this new look and feel, Android 16 has gone full Gen Z .

The latest version of Android has already landed on Pixel phones, with many other brands in the process of pushing the update, or in the late stages of beta testing as part of their own rollout, under their own skin.

Based on software update commitments, we have a good idea of which Android phones will get the Android 16 update. But when will that be? The timing depends on many factors, including the brand in question and the age of the device.

Here’s an overview of what to expect from well-known brands in the UK and US markets, based on the useful Android 16 Update Tracker , which monitors many of the most popular phones. Not all companies are included here, though, with the likes of TCL, Asus, Nubia, HMD, Huawei and Realme excluded.

Google

Google’s Pixel devices are at the front of the queue when it comes to updates, and that was true for Android 16. The software was released on 10 June and pushed to Pixel phones .

Interestingly, the Material 3 Expressive design change didn’t land with the update. Instead, that was pushed after the announcement of the Pixel 10 phones , with the rollout beginning on 3 September 2025. These are the phones that received the update:

Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Pixel 9 Pro XL

Samsung

Samsung has loads of phones available in the UK and US, and its generous software support means dozens are eligible for the Android 16-based One UI 8 .

The rollout of One UI 7 didn’t begin until April 2025, and the One UI 8 update started on 15 September 2025, so One UI 7 could have a really short life on your device. The update started with Galaxy S25, with plans to update S24, S23, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5 and more before the end of 2025.
