Galaxy S24 users in the US can now install One UI 8 beta update

Samsung has officially opened the One UI 8 Beta Program for the Galaxy S24 series in the United States. If you’re rocking a Galaxy S24, S24+, or S24 Ultra, you can now sign up and test the latest Android 16-based update before its stable release. While the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 haven’t received the beta in the U.S. just yet, their turn could be just around the corner.

One UI 8 Beta arrives for Galaxy S24 users in the U.S.

The beta update comes with firmware version S92xU1UEU4ZYH3 and has a hefty download size of around 3.25GB. It also includes the August 2025 security patch, which addresses several security vulnerabilities. This gives users a chance to not only explore the new UI but also stay secure while testing.
