Samsung has now extended its One UI 8 beta programme to include older Galaxy devices and has also announced the official release date of One UI 9. The beta programme was initially launched for the Galaxy S25 range in May, with further updates being rolled out to the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy Watch 7 lines a month ago. The company has now revealed plans to bring these beta updates to older devices starting with the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 next week. The rollout will begin in South Korea, the US, the UK, and India.
Now, Samsung is broadening the One UI 8 beta programme to include devices such as the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy A36 5G, Galaxy A55 5G, Galaxy A35 5G, and Galaxy A54 in September. Users with these Samsung Galaxy devices can participate in the beta programme through the Samsung Members app. The full release of One UI 8 is expected in September, following the beta programme, starting with the Galaxy S25 series and later expanding to other devices. One UI 8 made its debut on devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE last month, featuring a familiar design with enhanced AI capabilities.
