Beta Program Rollout Gains Momentum
Samsung has officially expanded its One UI 8 beta program to include a wider range of Galaxy devices, giving more users early access to its upcoming software features. Initially limited to the Galaxy S24 series, the program now covers several high-end and mid-range smartphones, as well as select Galaxy tablets. The expansion is part of Samsung’s strategy to gather more user feedback before the final stable release later this year.
New Devices Added to the Beta List
The extended beta rollout now includes the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and select Galaxy A-series devices. In addition, the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup has been added, making it one of the few tablet ranges to receive the update at this early stage. Beta participants will get access to new interface enhancements, improved animations, updated privacy controls, and AI-powered productivity tools.
Key Features Coming with One UI 8
One UI 8 brings a cleaner and more responsive interface, deeper AI integration for text generation and image editing, smarter battery optimization, and enhanced device continuity across Samsung’s ecosystem. The update also features upgraded accessibility settings, improved camera controls, and a refined notification system to make multitasking smoother.
How to Join the Beta Program
Interested users can join the One UI 8 beta by registering through the Samsung Members app, provided their device is eligible. However, spots are limited and vary by region. The beta firmware is currently rolling out in markets including South Korea, the U.S., Germany, and India.
