Galaxy S23 and S24 could get One UI 8 beta update in coming weeks

Samsung released the One UI 8 beta update for the Galaxy S25 series last week. While the company didn't reveal if it would open the One UI 8 Beta Program for other phones, a new report claims to reveal when the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S24 could get the beta update.

Galaxy S24 will reportedly get One UI 8 beta update in June or early July

According to tipster @tarunvats33, the Galaxy S24 will get the One UI 8 beta update in June, but the release could slip to early July. The Galaxy S23, on the other hand, will reportedly get the One UI 8 beta update in July 2025. Despite claiming those timelines, the tipster said that they should take the information with a grain of salt, as beta releases could always face delays due to bugs.

It isn't clear if Galaxy A, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy Z series devices will get the One UI 8.0 beta update.

As we exclusively reported months ago, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be the first phones to run Android 16-based One UI 8 software onboard. And this information was confirmed by Samsung last week. The update could then be released to the Galaxy S25 and other high-end phones in the coming months.

One UI 7 was a major upgrade, featuring a massively redesigned UI, smoother animations and transitions, new style of app icons of Samsung's stock apps, Now Bar, new Galaxy AI features, a new battery icon, and a newer charging animation. And such major changes only come once in a few years. So, One UI 8 doesn't bring similar changes and design upgrades.
