While many Galaxy users are still waiting for the stable One UI 7 update, Samsung has taken everyone by surprise with the One UI 8 beta program announcement. Given the delays and issues surrounding the One UI 7 rollout, it appears Samsung is aiming to get ahead of the curve this time by kicking off the One UI 8 beta early.
Samsung has officially published a press release, and the early access of One UI 8 beta goes live for the Galaxy S25 line of phones. The company also confirms that its upcoming foldable phones will run on Android 16-based One UI 8 out-of-the-box.
According to the official details, the One UI 8 beta program for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra is now live in Germany, Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Anyone can take part in the beta program, but it’s important to note that early beta builds are not ideal for daily use; they may contain bugs and stability issues.
One UI 8 is coming, and early access is now available through its beta program — kicking off a new era of software intelligence that brings a true multimodal AI agent designed for various Samsung Galaxy form factors.
