If you’re a Galaxy user, there’s some exciting news on the way. Samsung is expanding its One UI 8 Beta program to more devices starting next week. This means users of the Galaxy S24, Z Fold6, and Z Flip6 in India, the U.S., Korea, and the U.K. will soon be able to test out Samsung’s next big software update — before it officially rolls out.
The One UI 8 Beta was first introduced earlier this year with the Galaxy S25 series. Now, Samsung is opening the doors for more users to experience it, get hands-on with new AI features, and give feedback that will help shape the final version.
This isn’t just a minor update — it’s packed with smart upgrades aimed at making your phone more helpful, more personalized, and more in tune with how you use it daily.
What’s New in the One UI 8 Beta?
Samsung has been talking a lot about AI lately, and One UI 8 is a big part of that push. The update includes Galaxy AI features that try to understand what you’re doing in real-time and make your phone work smarter, not harder.
For example, if you’re using the new Galaxy Buds3 or Buds3 Pro, you can activate Google’s Gemini AI by just using your voice or long-pressing an earbud. Whether you’re checking your schedule or sending a quick message, it’s designed to make things faster and more natural.
The update also includes design tweaks and improved performance across devices — especially on foldables like the Z Fold and Flip. Samsung’s made sure One UI 8 adapts to different screen sizes and types, so whether you’re multitasking on a Fold or scrolling on a regular phone, it just feels smoother.
Looking ahead, even more devices will join the beta in September. That includes the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and several A-series phones like the A55 5G, A35 5G, and A54.
If you’ve never joined a beta before, it’s simple. Just head to the Samsung Members app and look for the One UI 8 Beta banner when it goes live. You’ll be able to download the update and send feedback directly to Samsung — pretty cool if you like being part of the testing process.
Later this year, the official version of One UI 8 will launch first on the Galaxy S25 series, then gradually roll out to other models. And it’s not just phones getting the upgrade — Samsung also plans to release One UI 8 Watch to more Galaxy Watches, adding new health features and a fresh interface.
Samsung is clearly betting big on AI and personalization. And with this wider beta release, more users than ever can get an early look and help improve what might be the most helpful version of One UI yet.
