- Samsung is expanding the One UI 8 beta program to more devices.
- In addition to the previously supported models, the update is now available for the Galaxy S23, A55, A54, A36, and A35.
- Meanwhile, the Galaxy A56, Z Fold 5, and Flip 5 are expected to receive updates this month.
After a laggy rollout of its Android 15-based One UI 7, Samsung sprinted to release One UI 8, based on Android 16, in less than six months. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Flip 7 have already launched with the stable version, while Samsung has been running One UI 8 beta programs for the Galaxy S25, S24, Z Fold 6, and Flip 6. Last month, it also revealed plans to include other models, and is now delivering on that promise on the first day of the month by releasing One UI 8 beta builds for a host of older Galaxy S and A series phones.
Firstly, Samsung has initiated One UI 8 for the Galaxy S23 series. Tipster Tarun Vats has reported that the update for the Galaxy S23 series is now available to those who signed up for the beta in India and South Korea. The UK appears to be getting it, too, based on a comment in a Reddit thread, but we’re still waiting to learn about the availability in other eligible regions, i.e., the US and Germany.
