Samsung is moving fast with the One UI 8 rollout. After giving the Galaxy S25 series a head start, the company recently expanded the beta to the Galaxy S24 lineup and its last-gen foldables — the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. Now, more devices are in line to join the party, and if you own one of them, your turn could be just around the corner.
The company has confirmed that several mid-range and premium Galaxy devices will receive the One UI 8 beta update in September. So, if you didn’t make the cut in the initial wave, here’s your chance to hop on board.

Samsung has revealed the following models will be eligible for the One UI 8 beta program next month:
- Galaxy S23

- Galaxy Z Fold 5
- Galaxy Z Flip 5
- Galaxy A55 5G

But eligibility isn’t just about owning one of these phones — you must also live in a supported country, such as South Korea, the USA, the UK, or India.
It’s worth noting that updates roll out in batches. So even if it’s available in your country, it might take some time before the banner appears on your device.

Beta warnings: What you need to know
Joining a beta program comes with its fair share of risks. Since the software is still in development, expect bugs, broken features, and system hiccups. That’s why it’s recommended to install such builds on a secondary device if possible.
Make sure to:
- Back up your data completely.
- Have at least 30% battery and enough storage.
- Understand that going back to a stable version may require a factory reset.
Stay tuned, as we’ll keep you updated on the exact rollout dates and country-wise availability once Samsung makes them official. If you own one of the above devices and live in a supported country, you’re in for an exciting software upgrade next month.
