- Samsung started the One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S23 yesterday.
- Despite receiving the latest update, the Galaxy S23 is not getting a notable Galaxy AI feature, which is Now Brief.
- Samsung first introduced Now Brief with One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25, though it subsequently rolled out to other devices with One UI 8 (stable and beta).
After first announcing One UI 8 with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 back in July, Samsung is expected to bring it to other flagships starting this month. In preparation for the rollout of the stable version, beginning with the Galaxy S25 later in September, Samsung has also released One UI 8 beta updates to a range of Galaxy S and A series phones.
In the first two days of September, Samsung has already initiated the One UI 8 beta program for most eligible devices, starting with the Galaxy S23 and other A-series phones yesterday and extending it to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 today. However, despite similar builds, some not-so-old Galaxy flagships are missing out on key features.
