How to join One UI 8 beta program

Samsung is actively working on Android 16-based One UI 8 and could open the beta program soon, maybe by the end of this quarter. Here are the simple steps for how to join the One UI 8 beta program.

Samsung’s current One UI status

Samsung is almost done with the Android 15-based One UI 7 beta program and is now aggressively rolling out the stable One UI 7 update to older Galaxy devices.

It has already rolled out the stable One UI 7 to most of its flagship devices in several regions. It’s highly anticipated to complete the One UI 7 rollout worldwide.

Meanwhile, Samsung has already started working on Android 16-based One UI 8. And is highly anticipated to introduce the stable One UI 8 software version with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in early July. By this prospect, the One UI 8 beta program will start anytime before July.

Samsung runs a beta program for a reason

Ritually, Samsung rolls out multiple beta updates before releasing the stable version of any major One UI update.

Via the beta update, Samsung offers the golden opportunity for Galaxy enthusiasts. It allows users to experience new features and enhancements before the official release. Although the One UI beta program is a crucial stage for Samsung to refine and enhance its UI before the official version goes live.
