The beta initiative for Samsung’s previous generation devices has been observed in the U.K. and South Korea, signifying an important advancement in the distribution of One UI 8 (Android 16). The Galaxy S24, Flip 6, and Fold 6 are among the smartphones receiving the upgrade, which features a 3GB patch containing the August security update. While users in the U.K. and South Korea can take advantage of the beta, those in India have encountered difficulties, indicating that Samsung is still making preparations. The organization has verified that additional models, such as the Galaxy S23, will participate in the One UI 8 testing period in September. The launch of the beta has been slightly postponed, having originally been anticipated to commence on August 11. Nonetheless, Samsung has validated its rollout in the U.K., South Korea, India, and the U.S., with initial reports already coming in from the first two nations. As Samsung works to broaden the program, users in other areas, including the U.S., can expect access shortly. The company has also alluded to the possibility of extending the beta to more devices, including the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and Tab S10 series in the upcoming months.
