One UI 8 Beta Rumored to Launch Soon for Galaxy S24, S23, and S22 Series
A leaked roadmap hints at Samsung expanding its Android 16-based One UI 8 Beta to more Galaxy devices, starting as early as late June.
Galaxy S24 Series May Lead the Beta Rollout
Following the official One UI 8 Beta launch for the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung is expected to expand its Beta Program next week. According to recent leaks, the Galaxy S24 series, along with foldables like the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, will be the first batch to receive the update in Week 4 of June.
- These are Samsung’s latest 2024 flagships, making them logical candidates for early Beta access.
- No official word yet on which countries or how many slots will be available in the Beta rollout.
End of June: Galaxy S23 and 2023 Foldables to Follow
As the S24 and latest foldables begin testing, the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, and Z Flip 5 are expected to be added to the One UI 8 Beta Program by late June.
- Samsung is likely to continue with a rapid rollout schedule, minimizing the wait time for last year’s flagship owners.
- These models are also expected to receive Android 16 via the stable One UI 8 update later in 2025.
Early July: Galaxy S22 and 2022 Foldables
The Galaxy S22 series, along with the Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, could be the next in line, with Beta access projected for early July.
- This would align with Samsung’s historical pattern of supporting flagships up to three years old with Beta firmware.
