One UI 8 Beta Program tipped to start in June!

One UI 8 is an incremental update that started after the One UI 7 development finished. This version of One UI brought aesthetic changes to various system apps, as well as improved animations, general performance improvements, optimizations for large screens, and bug fixes.

Recently, a rumor circulated online about how Samsung plans to start the One UI 8 beta program as early as June, starting from the Galaxy S25 series. The same tweet advises that this is not an officially confirmed information coming from Samsung, so users are advised to take this with a grain of salt.

This is connected with earlier rumors about how Samsung plans to release One UI 8 in the second half of this year. In case this rumor turns out to be true, users who have an eligible device, such as the Galaxy S25, will be able to try out One UI 8 before everyone else. We will, however, remind you that the Beta program is for you to find and report bugs and suggestions to Samsung as development progresses. Countries like Korea, India, and the USA are eligible for this Beta program.
