Samsung One UI 8 Beta Version Coming To Galaxy S24 Models This Month
Last Updated:
Samsung One UI 8 beta program is moving quickly which means the older Galaxy phones and foldables should be getting it in the next few weeks.
Samsung One UI 8 beta program has already started in select regions and soon the company will offer the Android 16-based version for the Galaxy S24 users along with older Galaxy Z Fold users. New reports claim the One UI 8 beta update will be coming to these devices by the end of this month.
The One UI 7 update was delayed beyond everyone's expectations and was released with the Galaxy S25 series in January this year. But the company is looking to avoid those issues with One UI 8 and these beta program extensions suggest the plan is moving at the right pace.
The details about how Samsung plans to bring One UI 8 beta to more devices has been shared by a tipster named Tony Tech on X. The post claims Samsung will bring the One UI 8 beta version to Galaxy S24 series models which includes the S24 Plus, S24 Ultra as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 models.
The roll out could start as early as this week for these devices. He further points out that even the Galaxy S23 series models along with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 versions should get the One UI beta version by the end of June. And he wraps up the One UI 8 beta schedule by talking about the Galaxy S22 series along with Galaxy Z Fold 4/Flip 4 variants getting the Android 16 version in early July.
Google has already moved to the final phase of the Android 16 release which will be getting the design overhaul later this year.
The One UI 7 upgrade was Samsung's biggest in terms of the design UI overhaul, but the One UI 8 version is likely to see incremental changes, which seems to have helped its cause and offer a faster OS rollout this year. We will wait for the company to share the official timelines but the details seem fairly believable.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are launching on July 9 and will be the first to get the One UI 8 update out of the box. Before that, the company wants to ensure that the platform is stable, bug-free and the features work as expected.
