Samsung's One UI 8 Beta Release Just Leaked – Here's When You Can Get It
The post Samsung's One UI 8 Beta Release Just Leaked – Here's When You Can Get It appeared first on Android Headlines.
Many Galaxy phone users are still anxiously awaiting the arrival of the One UI 7 update. Fortunately, after the initial delay, Samsung seems to be speeding up the rollout to all its eligible devices. Meanwhile, the company is working on One UI 8, the Android 16-based update that will arrive sometime this year. Now, a leak has suggested a possible date for the release of the One UI 8 beta.
The delay in the One UI 7 rollout has been shocking to Galaxy device owners. Therefore, Samsung must be careful not to repeat a similar situation with future updates. Otherwise, the company risks tarnishing its practically impeccable update record of recent years. Fortunately, it looks like things will be smoother with One UI 8.
Samsung could release One UI 8 beta in June
Reliable leaker Tarun Vats has claimed on X/Twitter that Samsung could release the first One UI 8 beta in June. However, he also warns that Samsung’s update schedules are subject to change. Therefore, this timeframe should be taken as an approximation and not a definitive announcement.
Although Samsung has yet to share official details about One UI 8, leaked internal builds confirmed that the company is already testing the firmware based on Android 16. The news seems encouraging, suggesting that this time the wait could be shorter than anticipated.
It’s noteworthy that Samsung released the One UI 7 beta in December 2024. Due to delays in its rollout, the company decided to cancel all intermediate updates and focus directly on developing One UI 8. Google’s expected earlier-than-usual release of Android 16 also likely influenced the strategic decision.
A less ambitious update
One UI 8 will be a less ambitious update compared to One UI 7. The latter represented one of the biggest overhauls of the Android customization layer for Samsung devices in years. The Korean giant won’t perform a major overhaul of its firmware for a few years. Its upcoming updates will be based on the work done in One UI 7.
Despite the lack of official news about One UI 8, an April report revealed that Samsung is also working on One UI 8.5. This update is anticipated to bring more significant changes and is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S26 series in January 2026.
In short, the promise of a One UI 8 beta in June is generating optimism among Galaxy users. However, the experience with One UI 7 reminds us that plans can change. We’ll be watching Samsung’s official announcements to confirm the arrival date of this major Android update.
