If you own an older Galaxy flagship, there’s promising news regarding the upcoming One UI 8 beta. Recent leaks suggest that the beta version may soon be available for older devices such as the Galaxy S23 and S24 series. Tipster Tarun Vats shared on X that Samsung could roll out the One UI 8 beta update for the Galaxy S24 by the end of this month, with Galaxy S23 users potentially seeing it arrive by mid-July.
However, Vats cautions that these timelines are tentative and may shift as Samsung finalizes the update. The One UI 8 beta was launched last week for the Galaxy S25 series, generating excitement about the possibility of older devices receiving similar updates. As Samsung prepares for an increase in beta testing, expectations grow for news surrounding adaptability to earlier models.
In a recent blog post, Samsung confirmed that its upcoming foldable devices will launch with the stable version of One UI 8, featuring Google’s Android 16. The rollout for the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra marks the transition to this new interface, providing users the opportunity to experience Android 16’s features through beta enrollment. One UI 8 offers notable enhancements, such as a faster AI Select tool and improved multitasking capabilities with a 90:10 split window feature.
Users can expect major updates in Samsung’s Weather app, Reminder, Health, and Auracast as part of this release. While the initial beta rollout is now underway, additional announcements regarding compatibility with older devices will likely follow. Until then, keep an eye out for further updates from Samsung.
