Samsung One UI 7 update has arrived for many eligible phones in the last week. Surprisingly, devices expected to get the upgrade later this month and next month have received the new OS. It seems Samsung had to speed up the rollout to focus on the One UI 8 beta public release, as a new report suggests it will start rolling out this month.

There have been many reports about the Samsung One UI 8 beta update in the last weeks. The Galaxy S25 beta build was recently spotted on the company’s server, hinting at an imminent release. A new report has now surfaced, confirming the rollout will start soon while giving us a timeframe for the release.
Details of the Samsung One UI 8 beta public preview
Details of the One UI 8 have surfaced on the internet for some time now. From what we have seen, the upcoming OS will not bring many new user-facing changes. It will focus on improving performance and resolving any issues. The company will keep improving its animation, especially when opening notifications.
Samsung will release the build to eligible users in the third week of May. According to folks at Sammobile, the One UI 8 beta public preview will be limited to a few devices. We expect the Galaxy S25 to lead the charge after a One UI 8 beta build popped up on the Samsung server for the device.
Of course, the update will bump the Android OS to 16 for supported devices. Google has yet to release the new OS, but we expect an official release next month. We already know what the update will bring to Pixel phone users. Hopefully, we will see what Samsung will add when the One UI 8 beta becomes available for the public.
