Samsung is set to broaden its One UI 8 beta program, which is based on Android 16, to include additional Galaxy devices. According to recent leaks, the Galaxy S24 series is expected to gain access to the beta on August 13, 2025, followed by the Galaxy S23 series on September 8, 2025.
The One UI 8 beta program initially launched with the Galaxy S25 series in May 2025. This early release was facilitated by Samsung’s close collaboration with Google, allowing for a swift adoption of Android 16 features.
