Samsung was rather inconsistent in rolling out One UI 7, but things are already looking much better with One UI 8. The company has already launched the One UI 8 beta testing program, and the latest Galaxy S25 series got the first piece – and it seems to be rolling out much faster than the previous version.
Galaxy S24, S23 series to receive One UI 7 beta soon
According to informant Tarun Vats (@tarunvats33), the Galaxy S24 series will receive the first beta of One UI 8 towards the end of June, but it may be pushed back to July. The Galaxy S23 line could also join the beta program in early or mid-July. While it’s great to hear about the initial rollout plans, it’s wise to take them with a pinch of salt as beta releases can always face delays due to bugs.
Samsung hasn’t officially shared its roadmap for expanding the One UI 8 beta to more devices, but there’s reason to believe that things will move faster this time around. That’s because One UI 8 is a relatively small update compared to the much larger One UI 7. However, it is not yet known whether the beta testing program will extend beyond the Galaxy S series.
Samsung has already confirmed that the stable rollout of One UI 8 will begin this summer. In addition, the company announced that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will run One UI 8 out of the box. Although no launch date has been announced, reports suggest that the latest foldable smartphones could arrive in July – and that shouldn’t come as a surprise since Android 16 will be released by the end of this month.
Although One UI 8 is not a major update, it is still an important one for Samsung. After the failed and delayed rollout of One UI 7, this release aims to restore user confidence and fix software glitches. Samsung has a real chance to prove that it can deliver timely and stable software updates. Read our full article on why this minor update is extremely important for Samsung.
