Samsung started the public One UI 8 beta program on the Galaxy S25 series back in May – stable One UI 8 made its debut with the 2025 foldables. Next week, the company will expand the program to last year’s flagships.
Starting next week, owners of the following models in the US, the UK, India and South Korea will be able to sign up for One UI 8 beta through the Samsung Members app: Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S24 FE, Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6.
Samsung Galaxy S24 • Samsung Galaxy S24+ • Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6
Again, this is for the beta – the stable release is coming at a later date and will incorporate feedback from the beta program. This release is scheduled to roll out in September for the Galaxy S25 series and expand to other product lines in sequence.
People with older phones will have to wait longer. For example, the following models will be able to join the One UI 8 beta starting in September:
Note that we are assuming that the Galaxy S FE models are included in their respective S-series, since Samsung is already testing One UI 8 on the S24 FE. Also, we’re not sure why the Galaxy A36 is on the list but the A56 is not – this is from the global press release, so it’s not a regional thing.
Looking at the Watch branch of the One UI 8 tree, the Galaxy Watch Ultra already received the stable update. The Galaxy Watch7 is still on the beta for some reason, though. Samsung is also testing older models and says that One UI 8 Watch will “expand to more Galaxy Watch models beyond the Galaxy Watch8 series later this year”.
