One UI 8 beta is coming soon: Who's getting it, where, and how you can join
Joe Maring / Android Authority Samsung is gearing up to launch the One UI 8 beta, based on Android 16. The update could arrive any day now, with Samsung setting up official One UI 8 beta program pages and banners on its community forums and Members app for multiple countries. However, as with every new One UI beta, some burning questions remain unanswered. Which Galaxy devices will be eligible for receiving the One UI 8 beta update, and where will the beta land first? The good news is that, based on what we're seeing about One UI 8 right now and Samsung's historical rollout patterns, we may already have answers for these questions. Here are all the One UI 8 beta program availability details you need to know. One UI 8 beta: Eligible devices C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Samsung can be expected to limit the initial rollout of the One UI 8 beta to its flagship Galaxy S25 series. Based on the company's past behavior, especially with the One UI 7 beta, it seems likely that these will be the first set of Samsung devices to get the One UI 8 beta update at launch: Galaxy S25 Galaxy S25 Plus Galaxy S25 Ultra The Galaxy flagship trio is nearly guaranteed to be the first recipients of the One UI 8 beta, following the precedent Samsung set with the One UI 7 beta and the Galaxy S24 series last year. In fact, tipster Tarun Vats has spotted the first One UI 8 beta build 'S938BXXU3ZYEA' for the Galaxy S25 series on Samsung's servers at the beginning of May, which has since been updated to build number 'S938BXXU3ZYER' as of May 27, 2025. What about the Galaxy S25 Edge? Ryan Haines / Android Authority While the Galaxy S25 Edge technically belongs to the Galaxy S25 family, it may not receive the beta, or at least not at the same time as the other models. If the phone does join the One UI 8 beta program, we expect a delay in its eligibility due to Samsung's staggered software development and testing cycles. Samsung is also planning to release a Galaxy S25 FE model later this year, but the device is expected to ship with One UI 8 pre-installed, making it irrelevant to the beta conversation. One UI 8 beta on older Galaxy devices? Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority As was the case with One UI 7, Samsung could eventually open the One UI 8 beta program to older Galaxy models like the Galaxy S24 series or the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. However, that may not happen for several months. For context, the One UI 7 beta launched exclusively for the Galaxy S24 lineup in December 2024 and stayed that way for quite a while, before reaching the foldables, select Galaxy tablets, and some Galaxy A series phones in March 2025. So while it's possible older Samsung phones and tablets could be added to the One UI 8 beta program later, we want you to temper your expectations for now. Regions where the One UI 8 beta will drop first Samsung's community forums and Members app for the following countries are showing signs of the One UI 8 beta program incoming: United States South Korea Germany United Kingdom India Poland Most of these regions consistently appear in early One UI beta waves. Samsung has strong beta user bases in these regions that help the company generate valuable feedback for new software. One UI 8 beta launch and new Beta Program Home details Since Android 16 is almost out the door, the One UI 8 beta program is expected to begin early this year. With hints about the program now arriving on the Samsung Members app and the company's forums, it's expected that the program could arrive anytime this month. If all goes well, beta registrations should open in the coming weeks. Samsung has created a new Beta Program Home. Once the beta program officially kicks off in your country, you can head over to the Samsung Members app and look for the 'One UI Beta Program' banner to enroll and test out the new software. Samsung has created a new 'Beta Program Home,' which is a dedicated space in the Samsung Members app for all beta-related information. It consists of One UI Beta, One UI Watch Beta, App Beta, and Beta tips. You can now check Beta programs for all models and apps currently in progress, and join each model's Beta test from this space. You'll also see options to leave the beta, update, or rollback on this page.

Samsung schedules more Galaxy devices for One UI 7 updates
Samsung's confusing One UI 7 rollout is still happening, so if you're using a Galaxy phone as your daily driver and haven't received the update, chances are you're have to wait until next month. The South Korean company issued a One UI 7 roadmap back in April and promised to upgrade all eligible Galaxy phones and tablets by the end of June. Even though the rollout hit a snag due to some critical issues, it only took Samsung a few days to resume the delivery of the update, so the schedule wasn't affected at all. We've already reported about numerous Galaxy devices that received the One UI 7 update, but the truth is not everyone is getting the update at the same time. Many Samsung fans with new phones are still waiting for the update, while others with older models already enjoy the benefits of One UI 7 . It's strange and confusing at the same time that Samsung released recently another schedule for more Galaxy devices. Some of these phones and tablets mentioned in the document discovered by Samsung leaker Tarun Vats have already received the update in South Korea, and possibly other territories, but let's not forget that not everyone might have got it. The Galaxy A25 is one of the cheapest Samsung phone to receive the One UI 7 update | Image credit: PhoneArena Conveniently, the One UI 7 roadmap was issued by Samsung Germany, so it's safe to say that the devices on the list are meant to get the update in this country first and foremost. One other thing it's worth highlighting, and that's the fact that the large majority of the Galaxy devices listed will receive the update in June. Samsung Galaxy A55 – June Samsung Galaxy A54 – June Samsung Galaxy A53 – June Samsung Galaxy A35 – June Samsung Galaxy A34 – June Samsung Galaxy A33 – June Samsung Galaxy A25 – June Samsung Galaxy A16 – June Samsung Galaxy A15 – June Samsung Galaxy A14 – June Samsung Galaxy A05s – June Samsung Galaxy M53 – June Samsung Galaxy M33 – June Samsung Galaxy XCover7 – June Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro – June Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) – June Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5 – June Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro – June Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ – June Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 – July Of all the devices above, at least five received the update recently: Galaxy A55, Galaxy A54, Galaxy A25, Galaxy Tab Active 5, and Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024). However, as explained in our report, these updates are usually starting in South Korea and only later make the jump to other territories. Samsung Germany's roadmap seems a bit more realistic, so if your Galaxy device is on the list and you haven't yet upgraded your phone to One UI 7 , you won't have to wait too long now.

Wondering when your device will get One UI 7? Samsung just updated its schedule
Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR The schedule for the One UI 7 rollout has been updated. The schedule shows what devices are still waiting and when they will receive the update. Most devices should get One UI 7 by June, but two devices are scheduled for July. The One UI 7 rollout hasn't exactly been the fastest release, but Samsung is making progress. If you're still waiting on the update to arrive on your device, then you're probably wondering how much longer you'll have to wait. An updated rollout schedule now tells us when we can expect the update to arrive on the remaining eligible devices. On X (formerly Twitter), tipster Tarun Vats shared screenshots of a new One UI 7 update schedule spotted on Samsung Germany's website. The schedule lists all the devices that have already received the new OS and those still in the waiting line. According to this schedule, it appears that a majority of the devices that have yet to receive One UI 7 will get the update sometime in June. Meanwhile, there are two devices — the Galaxy Tab A9 and Galaxy A05s — that are scheduled for July. As the One UI 7 rollout continues, the One UI 8 update is nipping at its heels. It appears some users are already getting notified of the Beta Program for One UI 8 before sign-ups begin. One of our own writers has now received this notification on their Galaxy device. Got a tip?
