With stable Android 16 coming next month, other smartphone companies are planning the release. Samsung has been testing the build internally, and it is finally time to get the public involved. It’s unclear when the program will start, but we believe soon as the One UI 8 beta forum will be created soon.

After the delays with One UI 7, Samsung is looking to bounce back with One UI 8. Perhaps why they canceled One UI 7.1.1 to bring the upcoming Android OS on time. That seems to be the case, and with the One UI 8 beta forum now live, it won’t be long before the preview starts.

Samsung seems to have created a beta forum for the Galaxy S25 series. It’s unclear how many devices will be eligible for the preview program, but we expect Galaxy S24 users to participate at some point.
While the forum does not tell when the preview will commence, it means registration will soon start. Once that happens, it will not take long before eligible users start getting the beta build.
We already know Samsung will not make many changes with One UI 8. The company will keep most things as they are while optimizing performance and adding a few AI-powered features. Of course, a new Android OS and a few other additions.
If you plan to join the beta preview program, be sure to check our website for when the registration starts. It will probably start in the next few days or weeks.
