I just downloaded the One UI 8 beta on my Galaxy S25. Here's how you can, too
If you're a Galaxy S25 owner, today is an exciting day. Early in the morning on May 28, Samsung officially launched its open beta program for One UI 8 — its next big software update based on Android 16.
Right now, the beta is confirmed to be available in South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The US availability caught us by surprise, but as a Galaxy S25 owner who lives in the US, I'm not complaining one bit.
If you have a Galaxy S25, live in any of the above countries, and want to try the One UI 8 beta for yourself, here's exactly what you need to do.
What phones can download the One UI 8 beta?
Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority
Currently, the list of supported devices for the One UI 8 beta is pretty slim — that full list being: Galaxy S25
Galaxy S25 Plus
Galaxy S25 Ultra
We expect more Samsung phones will be added as time goes on, but for the time being, you'll need one of these three S25 phones to be eligible. The Galaxy S25 Edge is not supported right now, nor is the Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Galaxy Z Flip 6.
How to sign up for the One UI 8 beta
Joe Maring / Android Authority
Got it? Great. With your compatible Galaxy S25 device in hand, the next step is to sign up for the One UI 8 beta in the Samsung Members app. To do so: Open the Samsung Members app on your phone. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Tap Beta Program. Tap One UI 8 S25 Beta. Tap Join.
Once the app refreshes to show Joined under the One UI 8 S25 Beta button, you'll know you've successfully signed up for the beta.
It's also worth mentioning that you'll need to be signed into your Samsung account for this to work. This should already be the case, but to double-check, click the three dots at the top right of the Samsung Members app, tap Settings, and tap Samsung account.
How to download the One UI 8 beta
Joe Maring / Android Authority
From that same page in the Samsung Members app, all you need to do to download the One UI 8 beta is the following: Tap One UI 8 S25 Beta Tap Check for software updates. Wait for the One UI 8 beta to download. Once it's done, tap Restart now.
It may take a while for the beta to download (especially depending on how fast your Wi-Fi/mobile data is), so don't be surprised if you have to wait a few minutes for it to finish. The entire process took me roughly 15-20 minutes, although your mileage may vary.
Finally, as with any beta software, it's important to remember that bugs/glitches are expected. I haven't had the One UI 8 beta on my Galaxy S25 long enough to tell how stable it is, but keep this in mind before downloading One UI 8 on your Galaxy S25 — especially if it's your one and only phone.
We're still digging through the One UI 8 beta to find the biggest and best changes. If you download the beta on your phone, let us know in the comments below what your favorite new features are.

Caleb Plant Vs. Armando Resendiz Fight Card: What Time Does It Start?
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 13: Super middleweight boxer Caleb Plant poses on the scale during a ... More ceremonial weigh-in in Toshiba Plaza at T-Mobile Arena on September 13, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Plant is scheduled to fight Trevor McCumby for an interim WBA super middleweight title at the arena September 14. (Photo by) Caleb Plant vs. Armando Resendiz will headline a Premier Boxing Champions show on Prime Video on Saturday night from Las Vegas. On a pretty slow weekend for combat sports, the card has a chance to steal a piece of fight fans' attention. In case you're interested, here's how you can watch. In the co-main event, Jermall Charlo returns to the ring in search of a return to glory and relevancy. He takes on Thomas LaManna. If Plant and Charlo win their fights, the plan is for PBC to make a fight between the two later in the year. Plant and Charlo's beef stems from a backstage altercation in 2023 that saw the former slap the latter. It's crazy to think this moment is literally powering Saturday's event and potentially another show later in 2025, but apparently, that's the case. Here is a look at the complete card, which also features the next fight for rising lightweight star Curmel Moton. Moton is a protégé of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and supremely gifted. Still just 18, Moton has already amassed a 7-0 record as a professional with six KOs. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 21: Jordan Plant (L) interviews Curmel Moton during boxer workouts at the ... More Split T Boxing Club on March 21, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Moton will meet Anthony Cuba in a super featherweight bout on March 30, 2024, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. (Photo by) He should look impressive against Mastrapa, who will likely be in over his head. While I wouldn't expect Moton to be ready to be a serious title contender for at least two years, astute fans will likely want to get a glimpse of one of the sport's next potential superstars. Also on the undercard, undefeated super bantamweight KO artist Carl Jammes Martin takes on veteran Francisco Pedroza Portillo. Martin is from the Philippines, and his fighting style is all-action. The 'Wonder Boy' is just 26 years old and he has serious potential. If he can score an impressive win, he will put himself in a position to be one of Naoya Inoue's next challengers. With rumors swirling that Top Rank will land with Amazon Video, it makes the prospects of an Inoue-Martin fight all the more possible. Another intriguing fight is the clash between undefeated middleweight Yoenli Hernandez and Kyrone Davis. Hernandez is ranked in the Top 10 by every governing body besides the IBF. He is the No. 1 contender for Erislandy Lara's WBA title. Davis is only ranked by the IBF, as he is seventh in those rankings. If Hernandez can stay undefeated as a pro, he would likely land in the IBF's rankings, thereby creating more paths to a title shot against anyone wearing a title at 160 pounds. With all due respect to Janibek Alimkhanuly, the unified IBF and WBO champion, the current landscape of middleweight champions is arguably weaker than it has been in a long while. The division is hungry for a compelling star to emerge. We'll see if Hernandez can rise to become a household name. Be on the lookout for results following the event on Saturday.

20+ of the Best Memorial Day Mattress Deals Still Live: Your Last Chance to Save on a New Bed
Memorial Day may be over, but several top mattress brands are still offering extended sales. If you're thinking about upgrading your sleep setup, this is your final opportunity. These leftover deals won't last much longer. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. CNET's sleep experts have spent years testing mattresses to help you find the best options for your budget and sleep preferences. Right now brands like Casper, Purple and Nectar are still running major discounts. You'll find deals on everything from memory foam and hybrid mattresses to bedding and sleep accessories. We'll keep updating this page with the latest prices, so check back often before these extended Memorial Day offers disappear. Best overall Memorial Day mattress sales Brooklyn Bedding Brooklyn Bedding's beds are known for their quality and affordability, so it is notable that its prices have dropped 30%. CNET's best overall mattress, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature, drops below $999 for a queen with this sale. The Aurora Luxe, our favorite cooling bed of all time, is just less than $1,700. Down from $2,265, this is an excellent price for a bed that will help hot sleepers rest better. The 25% off sale is sitewide with the code MEMORIAL25. Details 25% off sitewide with code MEMORIAL25 See at Brooklyn Bedding Close Leesa Leesa's ultra comfortable mattresses are some of my favorites. The Leesa Sapira Chill, our pick for the best luxury mattress, is on sale for $1,584. That's more than $679 in savings. It's still expensive but this is a good deal for the quality, especially because Leesa is adding a free sleep bundle that includes two pillows and a microfiber sheet set. Details 30% off select mattresses + free sleep bundle See at Leesa Close Nectar Hands down, Nectar does some of the most generous sales of all the mattress brands, which is good because some of the newest Nectar beds can be pricey. For Memorial Day, Nectar beds are up to 50% off, and bundles are 66% off. That means you can get the Nectar Classic Hybrid for $799 instead of $1,531. If you want to update your whole bedding setup, add the optional bundle for only $179. It includes a sheet set, two cooling pillows and a mattress protector. The all-foam model of this bed is only $649. Finding quality queen mattresses for less than $1,000 can be difficult, so this sale is big if you're a fan of dense memory foam. Details Up to 50% off mattresses + 66% off bundles See at Nectar Close Helix Helix's early access Memorial Day sale is 25% sitewide with a free bedding bundle if you buy a Luxe or Elite mattress. Here at CNET, we're big fans of Helix mattresses, especially the comfy pillowtops on the Luxe models. The Helix Midnight Luxe, which I recommend to just about anyone who wants a medium mattress, is down to $1,780 with this sale. Admittedly, the Luxe beds are on the more expensive side. You can drop a tier to the core collection for more affordable beds. The Helix Midnight is $999 right now. If you choose from the core collection, you'll miss out on the free bedding bundle that includes a sheet set and mattress protector. The bedding bundle's value isn't more than the difference between the two prices so I don't think the free offerings are enough to move the needle for you. I'm currently testing the Helix Frame, which is on sale for $187. I highly recommend it for people who want a no-fuss bed frame that is easy to assemble. Seriously, it took me less than 5 minutes to put it together. Use the code MEMDAY25 to cash in on these savings. Details 25% off sitewide + free bedding bundle with select mattresses with code MEMDAY25 See at Helix Close Saatva For Memorial Day, Saatva is running deals where you can save up to $600 off a mattress. The amount off will depend on the total of your purchase. A $950 to $1,999 purchase will save you $200, plus an extra $100 off if you get an adjustable base or upholstered bed frame with the mattress. You won't get that $600 off unless you spend more than $4,500. It's not the most generous sale we've seen from Saatva, but it's still a nice chunk of change off the price of a luxury bed. The Saatva Classic, our favorite firm bed, is only $1,799, $300 off of the usual price. If you're looking for a bed specifically for back pain, the Saata Rx is reduced to $3,049 for a queen. Details Take up to $600 off See at Saatva Close Casper Casper mattresses are up to 30% off for Memorial Day. The savings will vary by bed. Casper's best-selling all-foam bed, the One, is on sale for only $799 for a queen. That's 20% off. The more expensive the beds, the higher the discount. The Casper Snow cooling mattress is 30% off, which drops the price to $1,745.

The Memorial Day sale from Bear makes the beds almost impossible to pass up. There's sales of 35% off sitewide with two free pillows when you buy a mattress. The Bear Original mattress is one of my favorite all-foam mattresses for the price. With the sale, you can get a queen for only $649. The Pro Hybrid is only $1,113, a great price for a hybrid bed. Details 35% off sitewide + 2 free pillows + 40% off mattresses with code MD4TY See at Bear Close DreamCloud I'm a big fan of DreamCloud beds and I helped my brother buy one during the Presidents Day sale. Little did I know the Memorial Day mattress sale would be even better. I'm not sure I've ever seen a sale with up to 60% off. The DreamCloud Classic all-foam bed is only $799 for a queen, and the hybrid is only $649. If you're a pillowtop lover, I highly recommend DreamCloud. Details Up to 60% off mattresses See at DreamCloud Close Best Memorial Day sitewide mattress deals Plank Plank is offering a 25% off sitewide sale right now.

Right now, you can get it for less than $1,000. If you're looking for a hybrid bed, I'd recommend the Plank Firm Luxe, also on sale for just under $1,300. Use the code MEMORIAL25 for this sale. Details 25% off with code MEMORIAL25 See at Plank Close Avocado Avocado beds are easily the best organic beds out there. Besides the eco-friendly construction, the Avocado Green mattress has the most green certifications of any brand. Avocado's Memorial Day sale is up to 20% off mattresses, bedding and furniture. That drops the cost of a queen Avocado Green bed to $2,099. Use code HONOR10 for 10% off select eco organic mattresses, pillows and bedding. Use code HONOR15 for 15% off select green mattresses. Use code HONOR20 for 20% off select luxury organic mattresses. Details Up to 20% off mattresses, bedding and furniture See at Avocado Close Titan Titan is running a 25% off sitewide Memorial Day sale covering beds, accessories and bases.

This sale means you can get a queen Titan Plus mattress for only $937 with the code MEMORIAL25. Finding a quality bed for less than $1,000 is hard, so this is an excellent sale for heavy back and stomach sleepers. Details 25% off sitewide with code MEMORIAL25 See at Titan Close Nolah Nolah's 35% off sitewide sale includes two free pillows with your mattress purchase. The Nolah Evolution is my favorite mattress for those looking for a soft mattress.

Details 35% off sitewide + 2 free pillows See at Nolah Close Dreamfoam Budget brand Dreamfoam from Brooklyn Bedding is running a 25% off sitewide Memorial Day sale with the code MEMORIAL25. The beds are priced well for the budget tier, so this sale only sweetens the deal. The Dreamfoam Doze, our favorite cheap firm mattress, is only $180 for the 7-inch model. The 11-inch model, which I recommend for side sleepers, is $251 for a queen. These beds aren't going to knock your socks off with special features or cooling covers, but they're the most affordable online beds we've tested. Details 25% off sitewide with code MEMORIAL25 See at Dreamfoam Close Naturepedic Through June 2, Naturepedic is offering 20% off sitewide with the code MEMORIAL20.

Details 25% Off Sitewide + 2 Free Eco-Rest Pillows with code MEMDAY25 See at Birch Close Purple Purple offers up to $700 off mattresses and bases for Memorial Day. The amount you save depends on the mattress and base. For example, the Purple Restore hybrid is $300 off. The sale also varies by base, like the Premium Smart Base, which is $300. Put those together, and you'll get closer to $600 off. You don't have to buy a base to get the discount on the mattress but you have to get a mattress and a base to receive the discount on the base. The sales don't stop there, as Purple is offering 30% off bedding, pillows and more. Details Up to $700 off mattresses + bases See at Purple Close Layla Up to $200 off is Layla's typical holiday sale, although the two free pillows do sweeten the deal.

Memorial Day is a good time to buy a mattress if you're in the market for one. Some of the sales are generous, especially the ones that throw in extra pillows and bedding. I've been doing this long enough to notice sales trends across brands. For instance, Saatva usually peaks around $600 off mattresses, while Nectar has been known to mark 50% off. Most big names offer sales within a specific range, so if you can't afford a mattress right now, don't sweat it. There's always another holiday coming. Should you wait until Prime Day to buy a mattress? No, it's not necessarily better to wait until Amazon Prime Day in July to buy a new mattress. While some brands will offer deals around that time, nearly all mattress companies offer discounts around Memorial Day. Additionally, upcoming tariffs may increase the prices of mattresses across the board, so if you want to snag a new bed for a lower price, significant sales are happening now. Our sleep and deals experts monitor the web to uncover the best discounts and help you save big. Check back, as we update our deals pages often.

Tennessee dominates Florida 11-3 in Women's College World Series elimination game
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Alannah Leach had two hits and knocked in four runs, and Tennessee rolled past Florida 11-3 in a Women's College World Series elimination game on Friday night. Tennessee (46-16) pounded out 12 hits in the matchup between two top Southeastern Conference teams. The seventh-seeded Volunteers advanced to play the loser of Saturday's Texas Tech vs. UCLA game in an elimination game on Sunday. Third-seeded Florida (48-17) was knocked out in two games. Tennessee, which lost its opener to Oklahoma on a walk-off home run by Ella Parker on Thursday, took out its frustration on Florida. The Volunteers scored seven runs on seven hits in the first inning. Alannah Leach's twin sister, Gabby Leach, got it started with a triple, and she scored on a single by Taylor Pannell. A double by Alannah Leach, knocked in three runs. The Gators did not play ace Keagan Rothrock. All four batters Florida starter Kara Hammock faced scored, and she was pulled without registering an out. Tennessee struck again in the second when back-to-back solo shots by Sophia Nugent and McKenna Gibson pushed the lead to 9-0 and chased reliever Ava Brown. The Volunteers' early lead allowed them to rest ace Karlyn Pickens. She threw one hitless inning with two strikeouts. Erin Nuwer got the win in two innings of relief. Florida's first hit of the game was a two-run homer by Reagan Walsh in the fourth. Korbe Otis followed with a solo shot to make it 10-3. ___ AP college sports:
