Samsung prepares for early rollout of One UI 8 beta program

Samsung is gearing up to launch the One UI 8 beta program soon. After the successful rollout of One UI 7, Samsung is determined to release One UI 8 on time, possibly even earlier. Evidence suggests that Samsung is planning to kick off the One UI 8 beta program, as a dedicated subforum for the Galaxy S25 series has been created on its community website. It is still unclear which Galaxy phones will be eligible for the beta program, but Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra owners are likely candidates. The Galaxy S25 Edge may not be included in the beta, following Samsung's previous exclusion of Galaxy S Fan Edition models. While One UI 8 may not bring significant changes compared to its predecessor, it is expected to debut on Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 devices. The article also mentions challenges faced during the One UI 7 rollout and a potential Now Bar tweak in One UI 8. Apple is also preparing for a major release in September with iOS 19.
