The eligible devices for the rollout include the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Galaxy Z Flip6. However, Samsung has also announced that the One UI 8 Beta program will expand to include the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold5, Z Flip5, Galaxy A36 5G, and Galaxy A35 5G in September. The Galaxy Tab S10 series, including the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, will also be part of the expanded beta rollout.
The update will add new features to Samsung's core apps, such as Samsung Health, Reminders, Routines, Internet, Calendar, Contacts, and more. It will also integrate more of Galaxy AI into devices and offer additional accessibility options for users with sight and hearing impairments.
Samsung has also hinted at expanding the One UI 8 update beyond the new Galaxy Watch 8 series later this year. The stable version of One UI 8 will start with the Galaxy S25 series and then gradually extend to more devices beyond the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 later in the year.
It's worth noting that the Beta version of the software will only be available for users who've signed up for the beta program via the Samsung Members app. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE have already launched with a stable version of One UI 8.
